Chandigarh International Airport is slated to replace the old domestic Chandigarh Airport as region's only international airport in October 2009 serving Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh states of India.

It will be the second international airport in Punjab after Raja Sansi International Airport, recently it has been renamed as Guru Ramdas international airport Amritsar. According to plans, the existing infrastructure of the civil-cum-defence airport at Chandigarh would be integrated into the new Chandigarh international airport.

Originally, it was proposed to name this airport as Mohali International Airport, since it is in the suburb of Mohali in Chandigarh. But after Haryana insisted on having its share in the project, as this airport will cater to people of Haryana also. So then it was decided to name this airport to its present name to reflect Haryana's share in this project. Since Mohali is on the Punjab side of the city, Haryana felt the name of Mohali International Airport will not show Haryana's share in the airport. For now the two states have agreed on a name for the airport, Chandigarh International Airport. Lately Haryana fully support the naming of the international airport of Chandigarh as Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport.

We have Amritsar airport which allowed Sikhs to visit their temporal seat in the world they have effectively tried to stop all of these Sikhs that would have otherwise visited the Golden temple and donated money to help schools and hospitals and gurdwaras get stronger

Dont use the airport stick with Amritsar they could have used that money to strengthen the Amritsar airport highway but no they had to open a new one on the other side of punjab as far away from harmandir sahib as possible bloody idiots
