Layout plan of Chandigarh International Airport ready

Chandigarh: A month after construction work of the Chandigarh International Airport in Mohali started, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has come up with the layout plan of the international airport.
According to the layout plan, the airport will have a single 10,000 feet runway, with provision of extending it if required. This runway will be used both by the existing Chandigarh airport and the upcoming airport in Mohali — the Chandigarh airport will be integrated with the Chandigarh International Airport.
At present, the Chandigarh airport is being upgraded; work is likely to complete by June this year.
According to the plan, the airport in Mohali will have a taxi track parallel to the runway and leading to the apron from three different places. The apron will have parking capacity of 20 wide-bodied Boeing aircraft, which will be parked parallel to the runway.
The taxi track will also lead to two aprons for two category ‘C’ type aircraft (smaller aircraft), along with a link taxi way to the cargo terminal.
