The Issue:<\/h4>

Passengers from Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and other Punjab cities struggle to reach the airport. Unlike Delhi Airport’s extensive bus network, Amritsar has no reliable state-run connectivity.<\/p><\/div>

Our Demands:<\/h4>
  • Dedicated bus services from Amritsar Airport to major Punjab cities (Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, Bathinda)<\/li>
  • Launch a reliable “City Shuttle” connecting the airport to Golden Temple and major tourist sites<\/li>
  • Modern AC coaches with luggage space and real-time tracking<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    The Issue:<\/h4>

    The terminal is congested during peak hours. Parking is outdated, creating long queues and frustration due to contractor mismanagement and lack of modern payment systems.<\/p><\/div>

    Our Demands:<\/h4>
    • Terminal Expansion:<\/strong>\u00a0Immediate expansion to handle growing passenger traffic and reduce congestion<\/li>
    • FASTag Implementation:<\/strong>\u00a0Modern automated parking with FASTag lanes to eliminate queues and contractor issues<\/li>

      The Issue:<\/h4>

      Despite massive demand, Canada connectivity remains routed through Delhi. Meanwhile, Punjab’s cargo potential\u2014fresh produce, textiles, pharmaceuticals\u2014remains severely underutilized.<\/p><\/div>

      Our Demands:<\/h4>
      • One-Stop Canada via Hubs:<\/strong>\u00a0Push Qatar Airways and other carriers for seamless connections to Toronto\/Vancouver via Doha, bypassing Delhi<\/li>
      • Cargo Infrastructure:<\/strong>\u00a0Work with stakeholders to develop dedicated cargo facilities for fresh produce and textile exports<\/li>
      • Direct International Routes:<\/strong>\u00a0Continue advocacy for direct flights to key destinations as geopolitical conditions improve<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        The Story:<\/strong>\u00a0Our historic petition to the Canadian Parliament gathered\u00a020,000+<\/span>signatures<\/span>\u00a0creating a massive wave of awareness across two countries. We successfully mobilized Canadian MPs and media, proving beyond doubt that the demand for direct connectivity between Punjab and Canada is real, urgent, and massive.<\/p>

        This campaign put Amritsar Airport on the map in Ottawa and forced airlines to take notice. We generated extensive media coverage, secured meetings with airline executives, and created a data-driven case that continues to support our ongoing negotiations.<\/p>

        What Changed:<\/strong>\u00a0While the geopolitical landscape has shifted in ways beyond our control, the data and momentum from this campaign are far from wasted. The evidence we gathered continues to support our current advocacy for:<\/p>

        • Convenient\u00a0one-stop connections<\/strong>\u00a0to Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary via hubs like Doha (Qatar Airways)<\/li>
        • Positioning Amritsar as a\u00a0strategic alternative<\/strong>\u00a0to overcrowded Delhi routes<\/li>
        • Building relationships with airlines that can deliver\u00a0immediate relief<\/strong>\u00a0while we work toward direct flights<\/li><\/ul>

          The petition may be closed, but the fight continues.<\/strong>\u00a0Every signature was a vote of confidence that fuels our ongoing battles on all fronts\u2014from bus services to cargo to international connectivity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
