Hi thomas,

Flights from Delhi- Leh are quite regular at this time of the year.
I dont have more information about airlines but you sure can check with Jet Airways, as they are most common with their flights to leh.

Flights, usually are operated till Dec last week or Jan. first week.
Regards
FreeBirD

I went out the 14th , by then the buses had stopped running. I wouldn't try the road this late - even if the conditions looks good when u start , they can change in instant.
