MOHALI: Extension of the runway and improved visibility has made Chandigarh International Airport (CHIAL) capable of handling widebodied aircraft like AirBus 330, AirBus 340, AirBus 380, Boeing 777 and Boeing 787. This has also made conditions feasible for inviting international airliners.
Visibility on the runway has been improved, with a minimum of 350 mtrs of landing visibility, said CHIAL CEO Rakesh Dembla.
