Punjab ‘reconnects’ with the UK as Amritsar–London Gatwick flights resume
After a gap of nearly five months, the holy city has once again regained direct air connectivity with the United Kingdom. Air India has resumed its Amritsar–London Gatwick service, marking the revival of a highly sought-after route that was suspended following the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad on June 12.
The first flight took off from Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar, on October 29, while the return flight from London arrived on October 30, symbolising renewed links between Punjab and its vast diaspora in the UK.
