Overview
- The airline operated the inaugural Pune→Amritsar flight on Monday, June 15, and the new service is now running daily.
- Scheduled timings list the Pune departure at 1:20 a.m. with arrival in Amritsar at 4:10 a.m., and the return leaving Amritsar at 5:00 a.m. to reach Pune at 7:50 a.m.
- Air India Express says the route is aimed at pilgrims, tourists, students and business travellers by cutting travel time and removing the need for connecting flights.
- With the addition, the carrier now runs about 105 weekly departures from Pune to 12 destinations and operates 24 weekly flights from Amritsar, signaling increased capacity on both ends.
- Passengers can book online or via the mobile app and buy add‑ons such as hot meals and priority boarding, and the direct link is likely to lift tourism, education travel and ties with the Punjabi diaspora.
