Come October, the Chandigarh international airport will add Ranchi and Jodhpur to its operations list.

As per the information, new flights connecting Ranchi in Jharkhand via Patna and Jodhpur in Rajasthan will be included in the winter schedule, which will be released in the second week of October.

The airport will also resume its flight to Jammu and Patna, which will further be extended to Ranchi.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ajay Bhardwaj said they would resume operations to Jammu and Patna.

After a halt at Patna, the flight will depart to Ranchi, he said.

We will also be adding direct flights to Jodhpur, said Bhardwaj.

The ‘bubble flights’ to Sharjah and Dubai, which had been discontinued after the second wave of Covid hit the country, would also be resumed from the first week of October.

While 24×7 operations at the Chandigarh airport became a reality in April 2019, no new flights had been added to the roster since then.

Bhardwaj said at present 32 flights were being operated by four airliners – Air India, Indigo, Go Air and Vistara – for various destination from the Chandigarh airport.

The flight from Chandigarh to Sri Patna Sahib would operate six days a week.

Indigo Airlines had started a direct flight from Chandigarh to Patna Sahib in March last year but due to Covid restrictions, the operations were stopped.

In January this year, the flight was resumed but it was stopped again in March.
