Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, Chandigarh, joined hands with Riseonic, Vamana Group and Dhir Constructions to organise a three-day sustainability-focused initiative in celebration of World Environment Day, encouraging passengers to embrace environmentally responsible practices.
Held from June 4 to 6, the campaign was designed to engage travellers through a meaningful environmental activity while reinforcing the airport’s commitment to sustainability and community outreach. The initiative was executed by Times OOH and Spell Communications, with support from Godrej Secure and Upload Communication as the Digital Marketing Partner.
As part of the programme, thousands of arriving passengers were presented with complimentary plant saplings at a dedicated kiosk set up within the airport premises. The activity aimed to inspire travellers to contribute to environmental conservation by taking home a living reminder of sustainability.
The campaign commenced with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by officials from Chandigarh International Airport Limited (CHIAL) and senior representatives from the Vamana Group. The launch set the stage for a series of passenger engagement activities focused on spreading awareness about environmental protection and sustainable living.
