Amritsar: Air India’s decision to stop operating its Amritsar-Delhi-London (AI15/116) flight from August 15 and convert it into a direct flight between Ahmedabad to London has come under severe criticism.
Air India (AI) is already operating Ahmedabad-Bombay-London and Ahmadabad-Bombay-Newark (USA) flight. Now, the AI is adding another flight on the circuit.
Amritsar Vikas Manch (AVM), north American representative, Sameep Singh Gumtala, has flayed the proposed move of stopping Amritsar-Delhi-London (AI15/116) flight from August 15.
Last year, in reply to the AVM letters demanding restoration of the direct Amritsar-Birmingham and Amritsar-London flight, the Ministry of Civil Aviation had categorically stated that Delhi was a hub, so these flights would operate via Delhi.
Gumtala said, “Why is there a sudden shift in the policy of the national carrier Air India. It is clearly evident that the AI is working under diktats to please political masters.”
