Amritsar, July 28: Amritsar has become the second airport in India to join the government’s Hub & Spoke international connectivity framework, providing passengers access to more than 20 international destinations through Indian aviation hubs.
The initiative, launched by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, aims to make international travel easier for passengers from regional cities by connecting them with major hub airports.
Under the new system, travellers from Amritsar can complete check-in, immigration, and baggage formalities at the origin airport, ensuring a smoother transfer experience at the connecting hub.
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said the move will strengthen Amritsar’s role as a major international gateway for Punjab and neighbouring regions, benefiting tourists, businesses, and the Indian diaspora.
The government said the Hub & Spoke model will help boost tourism, trade, investment, and regional development while strengthening India’s position as a global aviation hub.
More regional airports are expected to be added to the network in phases, expanding seamless international connectivity across the country.
