Lucknow Airport to Resume Round-the-Clock Operations
Imagine an airport that used to close for a few hours every day.
That's like a school closing for a long lunch break.
But now, the airport in Lucknow is staying open all day and night, starting this Saturday!
They fixed the runway and added new paths for planes to move faster.
This means flights won't be delayed as much, and the planes that were canceled or had their times changed can now fly as planned.
The airport is also planning to make the runway even bigger, like adding a new playground to make more space for kids to play.
Lucknow Airport will operate 24/7 starting Saturday, ending a four-hour daily closure.
The airport upgrades include a recarpeted runway, new taxiways, and a modernized lighting system.
The four-hour closure between 11 AM and 3 PM caused flight cancellations and rescheduling since March 1.
The airport handles 128 daily domestic flights and 8-10 international services.
Further expansion is planned, with land acquisition underway for runway extension.
