Flights to Chandigarh
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Chandigarh is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport | IXC | 7 km (4 mi) | 12,467 ft | 1,012 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, IXC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,012 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
