Union Civil Aviation Minister Sharad Yadav said on January 15, in New Delhi, that following "certain disturbing signals" from Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and some States in the North-east region, orders for further tightening of security measures in and around airports in these States had been issued. As many as 19 airports have already been handed over to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The Minister justified National Security Guards (NSG) marshals carrying weapons inside the planes, which he says would deter potential hijackers and not endanger the lives of passengers. News reports have indicated that intelligence agencies suspect the possibility of a hijack. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) is reported to have informed Home Ministry officials that terrorists in Kashmir and the northeast States are planning a hijack. The Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) reported that the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) with the assistance of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) is planning a hijack. The RAW, after monitoring the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the ULFA, is also said to have called for "tighter" security on flights touching Dhaka and Bangkok.

Six Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) mercenaries, suspected to be Pakistani nationals, three security force personnel and two civilians were killed in a Fidayeen (suicide squad) attack at the Srinagar airport on January 16. All six mercenaries who comprised the squad were killed in the attack where three mercenaries managed to penetrate the high security cordon around the airport and entered the X-Ray room before being killed by security forces. One mercenary, who had hidden in some shops outside the airport was later killed. Security forces suspect that one of the civilians killed, a 16 year old girl, was an aide of the attacking squad and was spotted thrice in the day moving around the airport. 12 security force personnel and two airport officials sustained injuries in the attack. A Lashkar spokesman later claimed responsibility for the attack and revealed the involvement of six Pakistani mercenaries in the attack. Reacting to the attack, Union Home Minister, said in Delhi that, the government would take into account all major strikes by terrorists during the ongoing cease-fire before taking any fresh moves as part of the peace process in Jammu and Kashmir. News reports also speculate that a high level meeting chaired by the Prime Minister, on January 16, decided to hold in abeyance any decision on granting passports to members of the proposed Pakistan visit of an All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) delegation. Reports added that the government felt that Pakistan’s attempt to project the Hurriyat visit as beginning of tripartite talks on the Kashmir issue has become counter-productive. The government would now wait till Hurriyat Conference clarified its stand on the visit to Pakistan before a decision on passports is taken, the reports added.
