Due to ongoing farm protests leading to restrictions on the land route, the Amritsar-New Delhi airfare has seen a six times increase.
On normal days, the fare ranged between Rs 3,500-4,000 one-way per seat. Yet, it has skyrocketed to Rs 12,000-25,000.
There are three airlines, Air India, Vistara and Indigo, which operate 10 direct flights between Amritsar and Delhi.
