Except a flight to Chennai that will take off on April 30, there has been no new destination added from Chandigarh International Airport in the summer schedule that came into force on Friday.
It has come as a disappointment to travellers, industrialists and tour operators, who were expecting better connectivity, especially in the international sector, with the airport going for round-the-clock operations from April 10.
Chetan Mittal, assistant solicitor general of India, told the Punjab and Haryana high court on Friday that the airport expansion work will be completed on schedule by April 9. “We will be able to start 24×7 operations as per schedule on April 10,” he told the bench of chief justice Krishna Murari and justice Arun Palli during a hearing.
