AIP referenceVICG — AIP India (AAI eAIP, AD 2 VICG)
Operating hoursH24 (24-hour civil operations since 10 Apr 2019, when the runway resurfacing/upgrade was completed); no standing recurring maintenance closure is confirmed in current sources — the 2nd/4th-Sunday runway closure window was a temporary restriction during the 2017-2019 construction period that ended when H24 operations began, not a permanent rule
TerminalsSingle integrated terminal building (53,000 sqm, opened 2015) with separate international and domestic wings, 5 aerobridges plus 8 remote stands, self-service kiosks and DigiYatra facial-recognition boarding; the 48-counter CUTE check-in figure in the original draft could not be independently verified
Runways (1)
- 11/29 · 3,170 m / 10,400 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS RWY 11: ILS CAT I (confirmed). RWY 29: CHIAL's own current technical page states ILS is CAT I with CAT II 'being upgraded' — not confirmed as commissioned — despite a CAT II-standard approach/touchdown-zone lighting system installed in 2021 for fog; some secondary sources describe CAT II as already active but this could not be independently corroborated, so treat RWY29 CAT II as unconfirmed/pending rather than operational
Airport contact
Primary air gateway for the Chandigarh-Mohali-Panchkula tri-city region and Punjab/Haryana/Himachal Pradesh catchment; served by Air India, IndiGo (a focus city) and Alliance Air on 17 domestic routes plus international service to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Chandigarh is a Union Territory, not part of Punjab state — the airport's land itself sits at Jhiurheri village, Mohali, Punjab, on the civil enclave of Air Force Station Chandigarh (Indian Air Force). The runway's 3,170m/10,400ft declared/effective length reflects a 600m displaced RWY29 threshold on a longer roughly-3,800m physical pavement, both dating to the 2017-2019 upgrade. RWY29's ILS CAT II status is unconfirmed as of — see runway note.

Air India Air Transport Services Ltd (AIATSL)
Reported to hold the ground-handling contract for scheduled carriers (IndiGo, Air India, Alliance Air, Vistara) at Chandigarh Airport, covering ramp, passenger and baggage handling, per aggregated web reporting; could not independently corroborate with a second primary source. AIATSL's own domain (aiatsl.com) now 301-redirects to an unrelated third-party site, consistent with the company's web presence having lapsed and with industry reporting that Air India's ground-handling subsidiaries (AIATSL / AISATS) were being consolidated post-Tata takeover — the current operating entity name at Chandigarh could not be confirmed and may differ from 'AIATSL'.

Listed as a fuel/oil supplier at Chandigarh Airport in CAPA's airport data profile; however, CONFIRMED directly against BPCL's own Aviation Fuel Station (AFS) business-associate page (bharatpetroleum.in/Bharat-Petroleum-For/Business-Associates/AFS.aspx) as of 27 Aug 2026 that 'Chandigarh, Punjab' is still listed among ~22 locations where BPCL is advertising for land to build a dedicated AFS — i.e. BPCL has no confirmed operational into-plane facility at Chandigarh yet; status correctly kept unconfirmed/not-yet-operational rather than available.
