citiesUpdated: Aug 16, 2020 21:29 ISTAmid 90% plunge in footfall at Chandigarh International Airport due to the Covid-19 pandemic, IndiGo has introduced direct flights to and from Lucknow, Jaipur and Chennai. The launch scheduled earlier this year was postponed after the airport went into lockdown with rest of the country on March 23. The three flights will be operating thrice a week, with the first one taking off for Chennai on Sunday. The Jaipur and Lucknow flights will become operational from August 24 and 25, respectively. This is mostly because of the fact that only six to eight of the 44 domestic and two international (Sharjah and Dubai) flights operating earlier are flying daily.
