Panel on Amritsar airport set up

New Delhi, Nov 24

A committee headed by the Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr M.S. Gill, has been set up to suggest measures for improving Amritsar airport and connectivity to and from there. The decision to set up the committee, which has been asked to finalise its recommendations within one month, comes after several international airlines have said that they will withdraw regular services from the city.

From early February, Singapore Airlines is to stop operating its Singapore- Amritsar flight, while Jet Airways is also planning to withdraw the Amritsar-Birmingham flight from early December. The airlines cite the high airport costs and the dip in international traffic from Amritsar as being the primary reason for withdrawing flights from the city. -
