Chandigarh: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has put Chandigarh
airport on the top, both in terms of growth and keeping flyers happy.
Despite not being allowed to operate night flights, the airport has
touched the magic figure of 10 lakh passengers in 2013-1014 for the
first time, showing a growth of 1.68 lakh passengers over the previous
year.
In 2012-13, the airport had handled 88,1555 passengers, which has now reached 10,50,397. The 19.2% increase in one year is significantly high and only underlines the potential of the airport in handling more rush.
The figures show that the airport witnessed the third highest growth in air passengers in a year after Dehradun and Udaipur. While Dehradun witnessed a 29.9 % growth, Udaipur remained second with 20.7 % growth. In 2006, around 1.5 lakh passengers had used the Chandigarh airport. Today, the rush is seven times more.
The icing on the cake has come in the form of a recent survey on customer satisfaction among small airports carried out by AAI in the period between January and June 2014. It has put the city airport among toppers.
