Come March, airport to get ninth flight to Delhi, second to Mumbai

Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport in Amritsar is all set to get the ninth daily flight to Delhi and second to Mumbai in March.
IndiGo will operate a daily non-stop flight between Amritsar and Delhi, besides the holy city and Mumbai from March 16. Aditya Ghosh, president and whole time director, IndiGo, said, both corporate and leisure customers travelling from Amritsar would now have an opportunity to experience hassle-free and on-time services of the airlines. IndiGo has also inducted two brand new Airbus A320 NEO aircraft into its existing fleet this month.
The popularity of Amritsar-Delhi route can be gauged from the fact that already three airlines are collectively operating eight flights daily on this route.
The national carrier, Air India and Jet Airways operate three flights each daily, besides SpiceJet is flying two daily flights on the route. An industrialist, Kamal Dalmia, said, “There is invariably high traffic between Amritsar and Delhi as all branches of trades deal with their peers in Delhi.” Besides, a huge Sikh and Punjabi population with ties in Amritsar is settled in Delhi, he added.
Traders dealing in dry fruits, cereals, food, FMCG, readymade garments, spices and other products travel between Amritsar and Delhi frequently.
