Chandigarh International Airport, Chandigarh

Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, officially renamed in September 2022 to honor the Indian freedom fighter, serves the Union Territory of Chandigarh and the surrounding Punjab and Haryana regions. Previously known as Chandigarh International Airport, the current integrated terminal was inaugurated in 2015, replacing the older civil enclave at the Chandigarh Air Force Station. Based on Airports Authority of India data for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the facility ranks as the 18th busiest airport in India, handling over four million passengers annually, though it does not currently feature in global top-tier rankings. Key milestones include its recognition as a leader in sustainability through the installation of a five-megawatt solar power plant and its consistent performance in the Airports Council International’s Airport Service Quality awards, notably winning the best airport in its size category for the Asia-Pacific region in 2023. As a vital infrastructure asset, the airport supports Chandigarh’s status as a premier administrative and IT hub, particularly for the Mohali technology district. It also serves as the primary gateway for international and domestic travelers transiting to the industrial zones of Punjab and the popular tourist destinations within the Himalayan foothills of Himachal Pradesh.
