Only city airport without night landing facility in state
The Ludhiana airport is the only one in the state that does not have night landing facilities among five airports in Punjab that operate commercial civilian flights, Parliament was informed on Monday.
“The night landing facility is not available at the airport due to unavailability of land,” Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia said in the Rajya Sabha in response to a question raised by Aam Aadmi Party Member of Parliament (MP) Raghav Chadha.
Night landing facility is available at Amritsar, Bathinda, Pathankot and Adampur airports in Punjab. In addition, the international airport in Chandigarh also have full night operations capability for civilian aircraft.
