Chandigarh airport to get jet-age look

Chandigarh: For all who've felt a tinge of disappointment at touching down at the 'just-about-average' building of Chandigarh domestic airport, good news is about to fly in from the skies. Come February, authorities would unveil the the new terminal building of the airport that would also operate international flights. The new avatar would be swanky and modern, complete with all amenities and glitzy infrastructure.
The much-talked about facility assumes greater significance as the proposed international airport at Mohali is expected to take some time before it starts out.
Spread over 12,150 square metre area, the new terminal building of Chandigarh airport would have state-of-the-art facilities and become operational by February. However, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has set a deadline of December 31 for completion of the building.
Equipped to manage international flights, the building would extend an impressive array of services. For the jet setters, business facilities, rest and relaxation options, a sparkling shopping arcade, entertainment picks, apart from snacks and drinks would be on offer.
