Air India to Launch 'Easy Connect' Service at Amritsar Airport Under Hub-and-Spoke Policy
Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport in Amritsar will become India's second airport under the government's new hub-and-spoke international connectivity policy, following Varanasi. Starting July 28, Air India will launch its 'Easy Connect' service, allowing international passengers to complete immigration in Amritsar before flying domestically to Delhi for onward international connections. Two daily flights between Amritsar and Delhi will replace existing services. The initiative aims to improve global access from regional airports and reduce transit hassles for passengers from Punjab and neighboring states. The service will be inaugurated by Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu.
