It will have to go onto Delhi as that’s the home base.
This reversal is very much as a result of very heavy political lobbying both locally and at the Amritsar end and not really the result of blue sky thinking at Air India !

No capacity boost just a juggling of the card deck to please a few vocal politicians in the Indian Punjab imho
