Qatar Airways readies flights to Amritsar

Qatar Airways has confirmed that its first flights to the Punjabi city of Amritsar will start on 11th October this year.
The choice of Amritsar as a destination is an interesting one; one of the attractive points about the location for Qatar Airways is that no other Gulf airlines fly there, despite the fact that India as a whole is very highly penetrated by carriers from the Middle East.
From a cargo perspective, the route will be limited only by the fact that it is being served by an A320 aircraft.
But Amritsar’s geographical position – some way distant from other major Indian airports – and its status as a major trading hub, may well pay dividends for Qatar Airways Cargo should the carrier decide to upgrade.
The Raja Sansi International Airport has recently added a perishables cargo centre to the facility, and other developments are ongoing there.n
