The airport is the 11th busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic in India. It handled more than 5 million passengers, with more than 42,000 aircraft movements in the fiscal year 2022–2023,[2] and handled around 5.5 million passengers, with 38,494 aircraft movements in the fiscal year 2019–2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, passenger traffic declined by 55.1% in the FY 2020-2021 and aircraft movements by 40.4% in the same year.

The airport has two operational terminals (1 and 2), and one under construction passenger terminal (3) that will be completed by the end of 2023.

History

The airport was constructed in 1986 to facilitate service to corporate and government officials. With an increasing number of passengers, AAI decided to upgrade and expand the airport in 1996, owing to an increased number of passengers and the introduction of private operators in the sector.[7]

On 17 July 2008, the Government of India officially renamed Amausi Airport to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport.

The second terminal (Terminal 2), equipped with latest technology, was then built in 2012 to handle the increasing domestic traffic.[7] Terminal 2 was inaugurated and granted international status on 19 May 2012.[8]

The construction of a third terminal (Terminal 3) for international operations was announced in 2016 in order to cater for the increasing passenger traffic. In 2018, the Government of India approved the new terminal 3 which is being built at INR 13.83 billion.[9]

In February 2019, the Adani Enterprises led - Lucknow International Airport Limited (LIAL) won the rights of operations, management and development of the airport under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.[10] As per the agreement, the airports would be handed to the company for a period of 50 years at the highest bid of ₹171 per passenger. The company will pay the per-passenger fee (PPF) to AAI for every domestic and international passenger handled at the airport.[11]

Runway

CCSIA has ILS CAT IIIB capability on runway 27, which enables landing in low visibility conditions.

Delhi, Lucknow, Bangalore, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Amritsar are the only 6 airports in India with ILS CAT IIIB which helps flights land safely even with visibility as low as 50 metres.[12]

Runway at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow will not be operational for any night flight movements for four months from February 23 to July 11 between 9:30 pm and 6 am. During the four-month period, the airport will be undertaking various construction activities to upgrade the infrastructure on the airside, which will include new ground lights for aircraft operations, introduction of three new link taxiways, runway end safety area made of sand and aircraft turn pad expansion. [13]
