IndiGo would start a new flight from Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad from March 31. IndiGo would be the second airline to connect Hyderabad with Amritsar. Currently, Air India Express operates daily Boeing 737 MAX flights on this route.
The new air connectivity with Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad would enable one-stop flights onwards to Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Raipur, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Mysore, Visakhapatnam, Nashik, Tirupati, Shirdi, Bhubaneswar, Madurai and Colombo (Sri Lanka).
The airline would operate daily A320 flights. The 6E168 flight would depart from Amritsar at 5:30 am and reach Hyderabad at 8:05 am. The return flight, the 6E167 would depart from Hyderabad at 9:05 am and reach Amritsar at 11:45 am.
Local residents and activists of Fly Amritsar Initiative have welcomed airline’s move. Yogesh Kamra, convener, the FlyAmritsar Initiative, said, “Direct non-stop between Amritsar and Hyderabad will be a boon for the tourism industry and devotees who are headed to Nanded, Tirupati and Shirdi.”
