"Given the enthusiasm shown by the community, some airlines have already started international flights from Sri Amritsar Sahib airport, which is saving a lot of time for passengers travelling to Punjab."
"There is a need for more and more people to use these already established flights so that even more companies get influence to come forward to start their flights from this airport", said Mr Gumtala.
