The airport here devised standard operating procedures (SOPs) such as maintaining social distancing norms and stringent thermal screening for the safety of passengers and airport staff.

According to Chandigarh airport officials, the flights which landed here included those from Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru and the ones departing from here were also to these cities.

An Air India flight from Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh was cancelled due to operational reasons, they said.
