MAS, AirAsia Urged To Introduce Flights To Amritsar

Kuala Lumpur: The Malaysia National Sikhs Movement (Geraksikh) today called on the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and AirAsia to introduce flights to the Sikh holy city, Amritsar (India), from Kuala Lumpur.
Its President Tan Sri Darshan Singh Gill said the KL-Amritsar sector should have been introduced many years ago as there was demand for the route and thus, can be a profitable sector.
Darshan Singh said MAS had reportedly announced about the sector in 2005 but did not implement it.
He said currently Malaysians are not only inconvenienced by having to travel to Singapore but also there was a direct loss of revenue to a foreign airline.
Darshan Singh, a Sikh community leader, said he had personally experienced that the passengers were placed on waiting list on the Singapore Airlines.
