Air India has announced to launch non-stop flights from Amritsar to Birmingham early next year. Rajya Sabha MP Shwait Malik said Air India would run two flights per week.

The national carrier currently operates a flight from Amritsar to Birmingham via New Delhi. Malik said, “The move will give a fillip to tourism and trade. It would also benefit local passengers as earlier they had to wait for at least two hours during the halt in Delhi.”

Welcoming the move, Amritsar Vikas Manch patron Dr Charanjit Singh Gumtala said they had been making efforts for the resumption of Birmingham, London and Toronto flights from the city for many years and had filed a public interest litigation in the Punjab and Haryana HC early this year.
