Direct flight between Amritsar - London |
After raising the issue of resumption of direct flights between Amritsar and UK with ministers in the Indian government and Punjab government, Slough MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi is now lobbying with airlines in the UK and urging them to start the direct flights. He also quoted Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal`s assurance that if any international airlines wished to resume flights from Amritsar, the state government would consider forgoing the state aviation tax. Dhesi has met Virgin Atlantic and Air India senior officials in the UK and buttressed his argument with facts and figures about the commercial potential in case they would start direct flights between Amritsar and UK. The Slough MP also met Indian High Commissioner in UK, Y K Sinha and sought his personal intervention for reintroduction of direct flights between Amirtsar and London and Birmingham.
