Air India resumes Amritsar-Rome direct flights, passengers hail move

The resumption of Air India’s direct flight between Amritsar and Rome on Wednesday came as a relief to many people in Amritsar who were delaying their travels plans.

Sukhman Kaur, who was waiting to visit her father living in Italy, thanked the Central government for the move.

“I was waiting to visit my father for a long time. My brother is young and taking connecting flights was very tough. Also, the direct fight is economically more affordable as passengers were expected to pay very high fares to travel via other countries, as the fights were costly and we have to also pay for quarantine requirements during the transit,” said Kaur.
