Hi,
I'm assuming that flights to and from Amritsar are not part of this agreement? For those who dont know -Amritsar is approx. 200miles north of Delhi. Amritsar is situated in the state of Punjab, which is home state to many sikhs. So, those sikhs currently residing abroad (UK,USA,Canada, etc...) would prefer to travel to Amritsar, rather than fly to Delhi -followed by a six hour road journey to their home state.
Shame, if this airport were overlooked, as I think that this would be another good earner for any of our carriers. Currently I think this airport is served by Turkmenistan Airlines (LHR->Tashkent->Amritsar). It can be difficult to get seats for their flights due to high demand. I thought that Monarch (using a 767?) ran a limited service there last winter -any Monarch folks care to comment on demand and viability of this route ie UK to Amritsar?
Just my thoughts.
Has.
