Chandigarh airport to be closed for runway work
The Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, Chandigarh, will remain closed for flight operations from October 26 (1 am) to November 7 (11.59 pm).
“The airfield will remain closed for fixed-wing aircraft operations due to polymer modified emulsion work planned on runway. Rotary wing aircraft will be cleared subject to prior clearance as per IAF information subject to further Notam,” said officials.
The closure is set to upset passengers’ schedule in the peak festival season when the footfall is maximum. The airlines have stopped taking bookings for the period. More than 50 flights operate daily from the airport with a footfall of around 10,000 passengers.
