In a press release, Yogesh Kamra, Convener India for the FlyAmritsar Initiative and Manmohan Singh Brar, Patron Amritsar Vikas Manch thanked the airline and said that the introduction of these Go First flights from Amritsar adds another success to our efforts for the start of more direct flights from holy city, as Go First is now set to become the 6th Indian carrier to operate out of Amritsar Airport. In early January 2021, we approached the airline CEO and network team with detailed statistics, requesting them to commence domestic and international flight operations from Amritsar.
A team of Go Air executives later on 31 January 2021, visited the Airport and also paid obeisance at Sri Harmandir Sahib. AVM Patron Manmohan Singh Brar, Patron Principal Kulwant Singh Ankhi, President Hardip Singh, Secretary & Member Airport Advisory Committee Yogesh Kamra welcomed Go First officials at the Information office of Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar and requested the airline to add Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport Amritsar to their route map by starting domestic & international flights.
AVM President Hardip Singh appealed to Punjab Government to immediately resume bus service started under BRTS from Airport to Darbar Sahib without any further delay and demanded to immediately start bus service from other cities in Punjab to the Airport. In order to make these direct flights popular, the Punjab Tourism Department should play an active role and make sincere effort to attract international tourists to Punjab through special discounts, incentive schemes, and promotional activities.
Yogesh Kamra informed that these daily direct non-stop flights from Go First will also provide seamless one-stop transfer connections to other major destinations in India like Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Goa, Dehradun, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Varanasi, Patna, Bagdogra (Siliguri), Guwahati, Kochi, Nagpur, Aizwal via their connecting hubs of Delhi and Mumbai.
