Airport officials said commercial services were likely to resume from tomorrow.
Around 18 commercial flights operate from Chandigarh daily connecting the Union Territory with several domestic destinations including New Delhi, Mumbai, Srinagar and Goa.
Only three flights had operated yesterday morning before the airport was closed.
Sources said trains and luxury bus services operating from Chandigarh saw heavy bookings due to the cancellation of flights.
The runway of the Chandigarh Airport is controlled by the defence authorities.
