Adani to Boost Lucknow Airport Capacity and Cargo Hub

05 Sep 2025 CW Team

So far, approximately Rs 24.01 billion has been invested in the development of a new terminal and improved road connectivity. The airport currently handles 8 million passengers annually. With the upcoming Phase 2 completion of Terminal 3 expected by 2026–27 and an additional Rs 9 billion investment, CCSIA’s annual capacity is projected to increase to 14 million passengers.

A key feature of the expansion is the introduction of “swing operations”, a model where common infrastructure is used flexibly for both domestic and international flights based on real-time demand. According to Adani, this system will enhance operational efficiency, reduce congestion, and improve the passenger experience, while integrating local cultural and artistic elements into the terminal design.

At present, the airport has seven aerobridges, accommodates Type D aircraft, and provides 15 aircraft parking bays. CCSIA is connected to 42 destinations, including 31 domestic and 11 international routes. International travellers account for nearly 19 per cent of total passenger traffic.

The airport plays a significant role in Uttar Pradesh’s economy, with Lucknow contributing nearly 4 per cent to the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Officials view CCSIA as a critical node for business and tourism in the region.

On the cargo front, Adani Airports is planning to develop a 50,000 metric tonne handling facility over the next five years, enhancing regional trade infrastructure. The company also intends to add new international routes, including direct connections to Singapore and Vietnam.

This expansion aligns with Adani Airports’ long-term vision to establish Lucknow as a key aviation and trade hub in northern India, driving both passenger traffic growth and economic development.
