  1. Waheguru je Khalsa Wheguru je ke Fateh. 

    Direct flights due to start from Stansted in 4 weeks with air India and having down some searchesr found it to be 250.00 cheaper per person than from Birmingham. 

    Also a low Cost air carrrier called Flypop is looking to start direct flights Stansted to Amritsar.

    The landing charges in Delhi is 50% less than the landing charge in Amritsar. Every airline knows the math and this is why they want to avoid Amritsar. No business class in Amritsar as gurgagon (used to industrial city of Punjab before Punjabi suba norcha) was forcibly taken by central govt. From Punjab. Delhi stubbornness do not Want amritsar to become the busiest airport. 

    Before Amritsar Airport was up running punjabis from UK Canada etc used delhi airport. I would say back then over 40 percent of Delhi airport users went on to Punjab.

    it's all about India , they do not want tax revenue to go to Punjab direct from airports , the most lucrative trip would be direct from heathrow to amritsar since the world and his sister want to tick amritsar off their go to see/ experience list plus the number of travellers who have bigged up punjab as safer for travellers than delhi .  How many time have we seen direct trips announced and then suddenly they have to go via delhi ....it's BS the travellers end up paying the airport taxes of Delhi international rate then Amritsar local rate .

    British Airways, virgin won't do Heathrow to Amritsar direct. Because these airlines make their money from first and business class travellers, punjabis only do economy. Qatar best flight to Amritsar 1.5 hour stop at doha. Then a small plane to Amritsar. Nothing to do with tax in my opinion. 

  4. Wheguru je ka Khalsa Wheguru je ke Fateh. Last month an Indian carrier indigo started daily flights from Amritsar to Dubia and the return journey. 

    Howver having checked on the Emirates site for Heathrow / Birmingham to Amritsar, they offer nothing with connections with indigo. They offer some 35 - 40 hour journey London /birmingham to dubia then to Delhi then Delhi to Amritsar, with Delhi to Amritsar on some other local flight. 

    Missed opportunity for all parties, especially missed revenue.
