Chandigarh, July 15 (IANS) Haryana Civil Aviation Minister Kamal Gupta on Monday said that civil flights from the Ambala airport would commence on August 15 and directions have been issued to complete civil and electrical works, including in the parking area, before that.

Chairing a review meeting held here with officers of the Civil Aviation, Power, Public Works (Buildings and Roads), and Fire Service Departments, he said the runway of the Indian Air Force Station would be used for takeoff and landing of aircraft.
