Work on the Halwara airport terminal building in Ludhiana is likely to be completed by 31 March 2023.
With the State Civil Aviation Department giving 31 March 2023 deadline to the PWD Department for completion of the Halwara Airport terminal building, Airport Authority of India (AAI) will be able to start operations from the airport within 15 days of it being handed over to them.
AAI expects more airlines to start operations once Halwara International Airport became operational as Ludhiana and adjoining districts had a number of travellers, including foreign travellers.
Initially, the temporary terminal building will be used for regular flight operations and later, it will serve as cargo terminal once domestic and international terminals started at the airport.
