Daily Domestic Aviation Traffic Reaches An All-Time High
BAN on Night Flights: The Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow will suspend night flight operations for four months, from February 23 to July 11, according to airport officials.
During this time, there will be no flight operations between 9:30 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The Lucknow airport will expand and upgrade its existing runway (airside) to prepare for future challenges as the number of passengers and cargo flows increases.
“During the four-month period, the airport will undertake various construction activities to upgrade the infrastructure on the airside, including the introduction of three new link taxiways, new ground lights for aircraft operations, runway end safety area made of sand, and aircraft turn pad expansion,” an airport spokesperson said.
“We have informed the airlines about the runway’s non-availability for 8.5 hours so that they can accommodate the passengers accordingly,” he added.
The airport received environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to enhance the passenger handling capacity to up to 39 million per annum from the existing 4.5 million, and cargo handling capacity to up to 0.25 million tonnes per annum.
