Amritsar-Toronto flight from Sunday

Amritsar: Almost four months after the withdrawal of Air India’s Amritsar-London-Toronto flight, the new flight from the holy city to Toronto is all set for an overwhelming start from Sunday.
The flight has opened to choc-o-bloc response from the passengers not only for the inaugural day but for the entire next month. Though Air India officials could not be contacted despite repeated attempts, Rajeev Suri, owner of a leading travel agency here, said the flight has been fully booked till March 22.
Punjab NRI Sabha Patron Jaswinder Singh Dhaliwal hailed the resumption of flight from Amritsar to Toronto, stating that though UK bound Punjabis would be disappointed, but it would bring about much-needed respite for a huge Sikh population in Canada. “The abrupt withdrawal of immensely successful Amritsar-London-Toronto flight on October 31 last year came as a rude shock for many. Thereafter the passengers used to have a harrowing time first boarding a flight from the holy city to New Delhi and changing it there for onward journey,” he said. However, he felt that now at least the Diaspora in Canada would be saved from harassment they had to face while boarding a connecting flight from Delhi.
