27 Jan 2023 CW Team

Beginning on February 23, work will be done to modernise the airside infrastructure at Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (CCSIA). The Lucknow airport will upgrade and expand its current runway (airside) during this time to get ready for challenges brought on by an increase in the volume of passengers and cargo. According to a spokesperson for the airport, several construction projects will be carried out over the course of the next four months at the airport to upgrade the airside infrastructure, including the installation of three new link taxiways, new ground lighting for aircraft operations, a sand-filled runway end safety area, and an expanded aircraft turn pad.

In order for the airlines to accommodate the passengers appropriately, he stated, "We have informed them about the runway's non-availability for 8.5 hours." The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change gave the airport the green light to increase its annual passenger handling capacity from 4.5 million to 39 million and its annual cargo handling capacity from 0 million to 0.25 million tonnes.
