Run Amritsar-Nanded flight thrice a week: MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla

Amritsar, November 25

A day after Air India resumed its weekly Amritsar-Nanded flight with a halt at Mumbai, there is a demand for increasing its frequency to thrice a week.

The airline had suspended the booking of the direct flight during its winter schedule for 2021-22 at the end of October. Though several flights between Amritsar and Mumbai are being operated, this is the only flight which lands at the Nanded airport.

Following this, the SGPC, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi and others asked the airline to resume the flight for the convenience of Sikh devotees. Member of Parliament from Amritsar Gurjeet Singh Aujla said there was a need to increase the frequency to thrice a week keeping in view the flow of passengers. — TNS
