Air passengers advised not to come in car at Chandigarh airport

CHANDIGARH: Airports Authority of India (AAI) has advised air travelers not to come in any four wheelers including cars to Chandigarh airport in view of shortage of car parking space at the site.

"In view of the upgradation of the Chandigarh Airport, the access to the existing airport building has become extremely limited and only dropping space is available for the passengers. Therefore we have requested passengers to adopt drop and go system due to paucity of space," Airports Authority of India (AAI), Chandigarh, Airports Controller, Suneel Dutt said today.

At the moment the entire area available in the city side of airport is undergoing construction phase thus restricting the space for vehicular and passenger movement, he further said.

During this month, Union civil aviation minister Praful Patel laid the foundation stone of new integrated terminal building which would be capable of handling 400 passengers peak hour.
