Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (IATA: LKO, ICAO: VILK) is an international airport serving Lucknow, the capital of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.[5] It is located in Amausi, 14 km (8.7 mi) from the city centre, and was earlier known as ''Amausi Airport''. It is named after Chaudhary Charan Singh, the fifth Prime Minister of India.[6] It is owned and operated by the Lucknow International Airport Limited (LIAL), a public–private consortium led by Adani Group.

The airport is the 11th busiest airport in terms of passenger traffic in India. It handled around 6.2 million passengers, with more than 45,500 aircraft movements in the fiscal year 2023–2024,[2] and handled around 5.5 million passengers, with 38,494 aircraft movements in the fiscal year 2019–2020. The CCSIA metro station, southernmost station of the Red Line, lies in front of Terminal-2. 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 three operational terminals, of which Terminal 3 was inaugurated and opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 10 March 2024.[7][8]

History

[edit]

The airport was constructed in 1986 to facilitate service to corporate and government officials. With an increasing number of passengers, demand, traffic and airlines, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) decided to upgrade and expand the airport in 1996.[9] On 17 July 2008, the Government of India officially renamed the airport to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, after Chaudhary Charan Singh, the fifth Prime Minister of India.[10]

The second terminal, Terminal 2, was then built in 2012 to handle the increasing domestic traffic.[9] It was inaugurated by the then Minister of Civil Aviation, Ajit Singh, and granted international status on 19 May 2012. It covers an area of 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft) with two aerobridges, and is equipped with all basic and modern facilities and amenities.[11] The announcement of a new passenger terminal, Terminal 3, at the airport was made in 2016 by the then Minister of Civil Aviation, Suresh Prabhu, owing to the growing traffic and demands for more international flights and destinations. In 2018, the Government of India approved the new Terminal 3, to be built in two phases at a cost of about ₹2,400 crore (US$290 million).[12] The terminal's first phase began construction in February 2018, and was expected to be completed by December 2021.[13] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused shortage of labour and slowdowns in work, it got delayed, and was expected to be completed by December 2023.[14][15] It was completed and inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 10 March 2024. It covers an area of 111,367 m2 (1,198,740 sq ft), has seven aerobridges and three floors, including the first floor for departures, the second floor for arrivals and a large basement of 20,461 m2 (220,240 sq ft). An elevated four-lane approach road corridor links Terminals 2 and 3 with the city through National Highway 27 (NH-27), which connects Lucknow with Kanpur, of 6,646 m2 (71,540 sq ft) covering about 1.8 km (1.1 mi). The terminal is be capable of serving over 13 million passengers annually. It is designed to match the local culture and heritage, and has been built on the lines of Frankfurt Airport in Frankfurt, Germany to match its modern, developed and advanced technological amenities and features. The second phase of the terminal will be extended eastwards by demolishing the existing Terminal 1 between Terminals 2 and 3.

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.[16] 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 the AAI for every domestic and international passenger handled at the airport.[17]

Facilities

[edit]

Runway

[edit]

The airport has one runway oriented 09/27, with a length of 2,744 m (9,003 ft) and a width of 60 m (200 ft). It has an ILS CAT IIIB capability on the eastern threshold, which enables landing in low visibility and abnormal weather conditions. Along with the airport, Delhi, 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.[18] As of March 2024, the runway is being revamped to handle more flights and bigger aircraft like the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787. It will have new ground lights for aircraft operations, introduction of three new link taxiways and extension of the runway end safety area (RESA).[19]

Other facilities The airport has many facilities to give passengers and visitors a smooth and hassle-free experience. To connect with travel services and customised packages through the airport's staff, it offers the 'Pranaam Meet and Greet Service' a specialised service that offers customised packages and an array of services to meet travellers' requirements, including professional assistance to corporate clients and support to group travellers, senior citizens and solo travellers.[20]

To connect with travel services and customised packages through the airport's staff, it offers the 'Pranaam Meet and Greet Service', a specialised service that offers customised packages and an array of services to meet travellers' requirements, including professional assistance to corporate clients and support to group travellers, senior citizens and solo travellers.[21]

Other facilities include in-line baggage handling systems, conveyor belts, booking counters, immigration and emigration counters, check-in kiosks, CCTVs, washrooms, ATMs, restaurants, lounges, multiple retail stores and souvenir shops, lost and found service, free WiFi, prayer rooms, child care facilities, cargo services, medical and emergency facilities, facilities for physically challenged passengers, duty free, porter service, foreign exchange counters and tourist information desks.[22]

Terminals

[edit]

Terminal 1

[edit]

The original terminal, built in 1986 to cater government and private officials and flights, has been designed to complement the architecture of Lucknow Charbagh railway station. It has two arrival and three departing gates as well as two immigration counters. The terminal was expanded in 1996. It is currently used for only international flights after the opening of Terminal 2 in 2012.[23] It has only basic facilities available to cater to the needs of passengers. It will be demolished in the second phase of the airport expansion project to link Terminals 2 and 3.[24]

Terminal 2

[edit]
Terminal 2 visiting lobby

Terminal 2 had been built to become the international terminal and serve the growing traffic and demands. However, considering the large domestic travel demand, it was later decided to be used only for domestic flights. Renowned for its design, the terminal's elevation to the sky resembles the folded wings of a paper plane. Large wing-like cantilevers on either side of the 200 m (660 ft)-long roof depict vibrancy and swiftness. The building itself appears as a dynamic object preparing to take flight. Inside, the gently curving ceiling gives the feeling of being under the belly of a giant aircraft. The design of the building does not labour to represent the culture and heritage of the city, instead gets imprinted with the architects' own experiences of nightmares about an aircraft crashing down through the roof, the exhilaration of flight, lightness, the indented front of the city as it wraps around the Gomti River and the ruins of the British Residency after the mutiny of 1857. Frosted etchings on the glass façade of the building bear the intricate patterns of Chikankari, the famous embroidery work of Lucknow.[25] The terminal was inaugurated by then Minister of Civil Aviation, Ajit Singh, on 19 May 2012, before opening on 2 June 2012.[26]

Covering an area of 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft), the terminal can handle 1,200 passengers per hour and around 4 million passengers per year.[27] The terminal was being used more than its capacity which led the Lucknow International Airport Limited (LIAL), the owner of the airport headed by Adani Group, increasing the passenger handling capacity per hour by 200 passengers.[28] The terminal was refurbished by the Adani Group in 2022 after their takeover in 2020, as per its plan to refurbish terminals of airports taken over from the Airports Authority of India (AAI). After the commissioning of Terminal 3, the pressure on Terminal 2 has been significantly relieved. It is also likely that the Terminal 2 will be converted into an administrative building for airport operations.[29]

Terminal 3

[edit]

In 2018, Suresh Prabhu, the then Minister of Civil Aviation, announced that a new third passenger terminal building will be constructed with an area of 111,362 m2 (1,198,690 sq ft), including a basement area of 20,461 m2 (220,240 sq ft) and a connecting corridor between Terminals 2 and 3, which will cover an area of 6,646 m2 (71,540 sq ft). To be built in two phases, the first phase will be able to serve more than 13 million passengers annually. It has been built at a cost of ₹1,383 crore (US$170 million), which is now estimated at ₹2,400 crore (US$290 million).[12] The Peak-Hour Handling (PHP) capacity of the new terminal is 4,000 passengers, of which 3,200 is domestic and 800 international.[30] There are a total of 75 check-in counters, of which 60 are for domestic and 15 for international passengers, and 18 check-in kiosks for passengers travelling through the terminal.[31] It is equipped with six aerobridges, which will be increased to eight after the completion of the second phase, through which the passengers can board directly to the flight from their respective boarding gates.[31] It has 30 lifts and 5 escalators.[31] In January 2018, the construction of the terminal building was started by Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC). All design and interiors have been designed based on the Frankfurt Airport in Frankfurt, Germany, by the British architectural firm, Pascall+Watson. The second phase, which includes the extension of part of Terminal 3 after demolition of Terminal 1 and constructing a connecting corridor between Terminals 2 and 3 will be completed in the next five years.[24] On 25 February 2019, the Adani Group was awarded with the operations and expansion of the existing as well as the new Terminal 3.[32][33] It is a multi-storeyed terminal building with departures at the first floor and arrivals at the ground floor. The terminal's architecture will endeavour to express the position of Lucknow as a key city and will display the traditional culture and heritage of Uttar Pradesh. The building is also provided with interior decorations to match the modern structure and enhance passenger experience.[34] Along with the terminal, a multi-storey parking facility is also under construction, which will have a parking of 1,500 vehicles. Also, over 5 km (3.1 mi) of storm water drains have been constructed parallel to the runway on either side to facilitate the outflow of the water into the Bijnor Canal. Terminal 3 was inaugurated and opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 10 March 2024.[7][29]

Cargo terminal

[edit]

It was opened in March 2022. The facility has increased the cargo handling capacity of the airport by 40 per cent to 7000 tonnes per year. The airport has also increased to over 1000 tones per month by the end of FY 2022–2023. At present, e-commerce, courier, post office mails, general cargo, valuables, mobile phones, and perishables are exported as well as imported at the airport. The airport is also in talks with various multi-national companies to use the airport as a regional distribution hub.[35] A new integrated cargo terminal with a capacity of 30,000 tonnes is planned at the airport by the administration.
