A direct flight service from Amausi Airport (Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport) to Srinagar commenced on March 30. Operated by IndiGo Airlines, the daily service is set to use a 186-seater Airbus A-320 aircraft, making Srinagar the 33rd destination from the airport.
Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (CCSIA) managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), is a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited. This new route will enhance connectivity for travelers heading to Srinagar, often referred to as the Venice of the East, and aligns with efforts to improve air travel from Lucknow to key destinations.
Currently, CCSIA handles an average of 20,500 passengers daily, with over 136 flight operations. In the first nine months of 2024-25, the airport recorded more than 5.21 million passengers and an all-time high of nearly 39,000 air traffic movements (ATMs).

In 2024-25, CCSIA added flights to nine domestic destinations: Bhopal, Aligarh, Azamgarh, Chitrakoot, Moradabad, Shravasti, Bhubaneswar, Jharsuguda, and Mopa (North Goa).
International connectivity has also expanded with new flights to Ras Al Khaimah, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok, along with increased services to Muscat and Dammam. Additionally, AirAsia Malaysia has been introduced as a new airline operating from Lucknow.
Meanwhile, flight services between Lucknow and Nagpur have been discontinued due to low passenger demand.
