Serious Security Concerns at SGRDJI Airport Amritsar @aaiasrairport! @FlyAmritsar Initiative & Amritsar Vikas Manch @avm_ngo are deeply concerned by a recurring pattern of gold thefts targeting especially NRI passengers. We are calling for an immediate probe into these incidents. @cpamritsar @PunjabPoliceInd @RamMNK @MoCA_GoI @CISFHQrs @vipinkumarIAS @AAI_Official @DGCAIndia @aaiRedNR @dgovcbic @Sanjeev_bphc @IndiGo6E @BCAS @MAS

Thank you for highlighting this important issue @InderjitSSangha. For many years now, the FlyAmritsar Initiative along with many others has been consistently advocating and lobbying for stronger international connectivity to Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar @aaiasrairport — including better aircraft deployment and improved service standards on existing routes. The demand you mention is absolutely real. The Punjabi diaspora in the UK has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to flying directly to Amritsar — even when fares are higher — simply to reach home without the additional long road journeys from Delhi. However, this loyalty should not be taken for granted. @airindia currently operates the @bhx_official Birmingham–Amritsar service and also runs 3x weekly Delhi–Amritsar flights, which in reality carry a significant number of Punjab-bound passengers. If Air India aircraft availability is limited, prioritizing newer aircraft and better onboard product on Amritsar routes would be a reasonable and justified step. Passengers paying premium fares deserve reliable IFE, consistent service quality, modern aircraft and punctual operations. The Punjabi diaspora’s dedication to Amritsar is unmatched — and routes serving this market deserve to reflect that demand. FlyAmritsar Initiative will continue advocating for stronger connectivity and improved passenger experience, and we hope @airindia will listen to these longstanding demands from the global Punjabi community. @TataCompanies @Rishul93 @AAI_Official @aaiRedNR @MoCA_GoI #FlyAmritsar #AmritsarAirport #PunjabDiaspora

AMRITSAR VS. DELHI: WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARD IN PASSENGER CARE? ⚖️ When congestion hits @DelhiAirport Delhi Airport, the media reports on it instantly, and the Union Minister himself often intervenes to ensure efficiency. Why are passengers at regional international gateways like Amritsar treated differently? • The Parity Gap: Dozens of flights from the UAE land in Delhi daily. Is every passenger subjected to 100% scanning there? Why is Amritsar singled out for this bottleneck while the Green Channel is effectively shut down? • Security is No Excuse for Inefficiency: We @flyamritsar initiative, @avm_ngo fully support stopping smuggling and maintaining high security. But security is NOT a license for poor management. • The Resource Gap: If you demand 100% scanning, you MUST provide the staff and machines to handle the volume. Forcing elderly, handicapped, and tired passengers to wait over an hour at a single scanner—after a long international flight—is a failure of service. If the government is serious about "Viksit Bharat" and world-class aviation, it must start by providing equal infrastructure to all international airports. Stop treating Punjabi international travelers as second-class citizens. Provide the infrastructure or fix the policy! tribuneindia.com/news/amritsar/… @RamMNK @CBIC_India @AAI_Official @aaiasrairport @aairedner @vipinkumarIAS @RamMNK @MoCA_GoI @DrSJaishankar @SandhuTaranjitS @GurjeetSAujla @HardeepSPuri @AmitShahOffice @DGCAIndia @airasia @airindia #AmritsarAirport #CustomsIndia #EqualityInTravel #Punjab #AviationIndia #InfrastructureFailure #FlyAmritsar

DEJA VU: 4 YEARS OF UNRESOLVED BOTTLENECKS & UNMET PROMISES 🛑 AMRITSAR AIRPORT CUSTOMS: STRUGGLE FOR EFFICIENT SERVICE In December 2022, after arriving from the USA via Sharjah at Amritsar, @flyamritsar Initiative @singhsameep Sameep Singh encountered absolute chaos. With 2–3 flights arriving simultaneously, only ONE scanner was operational. I shared photos then of elderly and handicapped passengers trapped in long queues in a tweet to then @MoCA_GoI Minister @JM_Scindia. Our intervention led to coverage by media including The Tribune @thetribunechd, Dainik Bhaskar @DainikBhaskar The History of Inaction: • The 2022 Promise: Following this, Former Airport Director Mr. V.K. Seth and Customs officials met with us (#FlyAmritsar Initiative & @avm_ngo) and personally assured us that a second scanner would be functional to keep wait times under 30 minutes. We thank them for considering our request. • The "UAE" Excuse: Authorities claimed 100% scanning was reserved for "sensitive" Dubai/Sharjah flights. We questioned why Amritsar is targeted when Delhi handles 10x the UAE traffic with random checks, but we respected the security mandate—provided the infrastructure matched the policy. • March 2025: I personally experienced the exact same bottleneck arriving from Sharjah. One scanner for 180+ passengers. • March 2026: Now, passengers from Kuala Lumpur—not even a "UAE flight"—are reporting the same struggle. It is time to stop the excuses. Why did the "solution" promised in 2022 never materialize? Why is the second machine still unstaffed or idle while passengers suffer? Read the various 2022 reports: tribuneindia.com/news/amritsar/… #Amritsar #CustomsDept #ViksitBharat #AviationIndia #Punjab #BrokenPromises @aaiasrairport @AAI_Official @aairedner @vipinkumarIAS @MoCA_GoI @RamMNK @yogeshkamra @DrSJaishankar @AmritsarCustoms @cbic_india @AmitShahOffice @DGCAIndia

RECURRING NIGHTMARE: CHAOS AT AMRITSAR AIRPORT CUSTOMS RED CHANNEL @AmritsarCustoms @cbic_india A passenger arriving from Kuala Lumpur (March 6, 2026) shared this video with the FlyAmritsar @flyamritsar Initiative, showing chaos at @aaiasrairport. While some including elders were allowed through the Green Channel, the majority of passengers were funneled into the Red Channel for scanning—yet only ONE machine was operational. Why is an hours-long wait to exit the customs hall becoming the "standard"? If the policy is to scan such a large volume of passengers, why isn’t the infrastructure scaling to match? It takes less time to clear immigration and collect bags than to simply exit the hall. Imagine this level of bottlenecking at Delhi Airport—it wouldn't be tolerated for a minute! If Customs has two machines, WHY ARE BOTH NOT OPEN? Why is there no provision for more counters to handle international traffic efficiently? @RamMNK @AAI_Official @vipinkumarIAS @DGCAIndia @avm_ngo @singhsameep @yogeshkamra @DCAmritsar @aairedner #AmritsarAirport #Customs #TravelIndia #AirportChaos #PunjabTravel #FlyAmritsar

As PM @MarkJCarney visits India and meets @PMOIndia @narendramodi, we at @flyamritsar respectfully highlight a key opportunity to strengthen Canada–India ties through aviation connectivity. Direct Toronto/Vancouver–Amritsar flights have been a long-standing request of 1M+ Punjabi Canadians. Why Amritsar? • Spiritual center of Sikh faith — Sri Harmandir Sahib • Major origin point for Canadian immigrants & students • Strong family & business ties to Canada • Proven demand during COVID repatriation flights • Reduced congestion vs over-dependence on Delhi @airindia is expanding Delhi–Toronto @TorontoPearson frequencies. Canada has expanded bilateral air capacity. Trade discussions are advancing. This is the moment to strengthen people-to-people bridges. Direct connectivity to Amritsar would: ✔ Strengthen families ✔ Boost tourism ✔ Enhance trade ✔ Demonstrate goodwill The Punjabi-Canadian community hopes this long-pending issue is raised during this visit. @Transport_gc @stevenmackinnon @yvrairport @AirCanada @WestJet @rubysahotalib @randeepssarai @MSidhuLiberal @MoCA_GoI @RamMNK @CBCNews @CTVNews @globeandmail @GlobalNational @ANI @TOIIndiaNews @CBCToronto @CBCVancouver #FlyAmritsar #CanadaIndia #StrongerTogether

As PM @MarkJCarney strengthens ties with India, meets with @PMOIndia @narendramodi ji, this is the right moment to advance direct Toronto/Vancouver–Amritsar flights. 1M+ Punjabi Canadians maintain deep family, faith & business ties with Punjab. With trade talks progressing and air capacity expanding, aviation can be a powerful people-to-people bridge. We respectfully hope Amritsar connectivity is raised during this visit. @Transport_gc @stevenmackinnon @TorontoPearson @yvrairport @AirCanada @WestJet @airindia @rubysahotalib @randeepssarai @MoCA_GoI @CBCNews @CTVNews @globeandmail @GlobalNational #FlyAmritsar #CanadaIndia #StrongerTogether

Signs of recovery after May decline in passenger footfall ✈️ at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar @aaiasrairport – November data @flyamritsar Initiative | Sameep Singh Gumtala @singhsameep The analysis has been compiled by Sameep Singh Gumtala, convener of the FlyAmritsar Initiative, based on AAI’s official passenger traffic statistics. Gumtala noted that the increase in passenger numbers despite fewer flights points to improved load factors, with airlines operating fuller aircraft on reduced schedules. Based on FlyAmritsar Initiative’s analysis of official Airports Authority of India (AAI) data, both passenger traffic and aircraft movements at Airport are showing gradual recovery after the decline that began in May 2025. 📊 Passenger Traffic: • November 2025: ~300,000 passengers, nearly matching November 2024 levels (~297,000) • January–November 2025: ~2.877 million passengers, compared to ~3.085 million during the same period in 2024 ✈️ Aircraft Movements: • November 2025: 1,757 arrivals & departures   – November 2024: 1,883 (–6.7%) • January–November 2025: 18,229 total movements   – January–November 2024: 20,608 (–11.5%) The downturn from May coincided with India–Pakistan geopolitical tensions, which led to operational disruptions, flight reductions, and the temporary suspension of some international services, directly impacting traffic levels at the airport. November data, however, clearly indicates recovery, highlighting sustained demand for Amritsar’s air connectivity. Despite weather-related challenges in December, we remain optimistic that 2026 will see continued growth in passenger numbers and improved connectivity. ✊ FlyAmritsar Initiative will continue to analyze passenger and aircraft movement trends and share data-driven insights not only with the media and the public, but also with airlines, to support stronger and more sustainable air connectivity for Amritsar. #FlyAmritsar #AmritsarAirport #PassengerTraffic #AircraftMovements #AviationAnalysis @AAI_Official @thetribunechd @PunjabAviation

The airport handled 3,00,146 passengers in November, marginally higher than the 2,97,130 passengers recorded during the same month last year @AAI_Official @aaiRedNR @aairedner @MoCA_GoI @PunjabAviation babushahi.in/view-news.php?… via @Babushahikhabar

@avm_ngo, @flyamritsar Initiative meet Amritsar Airport @aaiasrairport Director, seek better services for passengers. The delegation formally welcomed the new Director at his office and discussed concerns related to passenger convenience, terminal upkeep and the need for timely upgradation to meet growing traffic. Key issues highlighted included alleged overcharging at parking facilities, the need to improve passenger assistance and customer service by airline and ground-handling staff, problems faced during inline X-ray baggage screening, the poor condition of toilet facilities, and leakages in certain parts of the terminal building. AVM and FAI appreciated the efforts of the airport management and staff during the recent @IndiGo6E flight disruptions, noting that special care was taken to assist elderly passengers, families with young children and travellers with special needs. FlyAmritsar Initiative Global Convener Sameep Singh Gumtala @singhsameep, based in the US, also welcomed the airport authority’s initiative of sharing daily operational updates, including fog-related disruptions, on social media platforms. He particularly lauded the use of Punjabi language in these updates, terming it a meaningful step towards better communication with passengers. @AAI_Official @yogeshkamra @aaiRedNR @aairedner @thetribunechd

Are we only patient at foreign airports like Amsterdam, but lose our cool for Amritsar? ✈️❄️ Viral clips show a total collapse at Schiphol, yet the reaction is hauntingly different. #Amsterdam Crisis vs. #Amritsar Complaints: A Reality Check for the Punjab & it’s Diaspora Are we only patient when we are abroad, but lose our cool the moment we land in Punjab? For the past few days, viral videos from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport have shown a total collapse. Since Jan 4th, hundreds of flights are cancelled due to snow. Thousands of passengers—including many Punjabis heading to Delhi or Bengaluru—are sleeping on floors with no food, no blankets, and no hotels. But notice one thing: Nobody is shouting at the staff. Nobody is saying, "I made a mistake booking via Amsterdam." Contrast this with Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar (SGRDJI). Recently, when a flight from Brisbane to Amritsar via Kuala Lumpur was delayed, some passengers started demeaning our home airport. People claim "Delhi is better," ignoring that: 1. Airlines spend lakhs on hotels/food during transit delays (which Amsterdam isn't even doing right now). 2. Weather and technical issues are global—they don't see "big" or "small" airports. 3. Delhi and Bengaluru flights are currently stuck in Amsterdam too! The Customs Double Standard: We hear people say, "Don't fly to Amritsar, Customs is too strict." Yet, videos are now viral showing Delhi Airport Customs checking iPhone boxes and charging heavy duties. The Bottom Line: Amritsar is our gateway. It saves us 8 hours of road travel. When we bash our own airport for global issues like weather, we discourage airlines from serving Punjab. Let’s stop the double standards. Respect the staff, understand the challenges of aviation, and support your own. @flyamritsar @singhsameep #AmritsarAirport #SGRDJI #AmsterdamCrisis #TravelTruth #Punjab #Aviation #Customs #SameepSinghGumtala @aaiRedNR @aairedner @aaiasrairport @AAI_Official @IndiGo6E @DelhiAirport @avm_ngo @PunjabAviation @yogeshkamra

“We don’t fly to Amritsar because customs are strict.” That excuse doesn’t hold anymore. ਦਿੱਲੀ ਹੋਵੇ ਜਾਂ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ — ਕਸਟਮਜ਼ ਦੇ ਨਿਯਮ ਹਰ ਏਅਰਪੋਰਟ ‘ਤੇ ਇਕੋ ਹਨ। ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ ਨੂੰ ਬੇਵਜ੍ਹਾ ਦੋਸ਼ ਦੇਣਾ ਬੰਦ ਕਰੋ। Watch the video by @singhsameep @flyamritsar initiative and decide based on facts, not myths. There is a growing misconception that customs checks happen a lot only at Amritsar @aaiasrairport Airport. That is not accurate. Customs screening for new iPhones, gold, expensive gifts, and undeclared high-value items happens at all major Indian international airports, including Delhi. Delhi Airport Customs are actively checking new iPhones, gold, expensive gifts, and undeclared high-value items—and asking passengers to pay duty, exactly as per Indian law. The difference many passengers perceive is often due to sheer passenger volume. At very large hubs like Delhi, millions pass through daily—so some passengers may pass through without checks, while others are selected. 📌 This does NOT mean rules are different 📌 Customs law is uniform across India 📌 Checks are risk-based, not airport-based So if customs checks are happening at Delhi, Mumbai, and other major airports, why single out Amritsar? Passengers should choose their airport based on convenience and connectivity, not on assumptions about enforcement. Awareness matters. Facts matter. ✈️ Fly informed. Fly responsibly.

A recent viral video claimed that “death is flying” at Amritsar Airport @aaiasrairport because pigeons were seen inside the terminal building. Let’s separate facts from fear. Birds inside passenger terminals are certainly a management and cleanliness issue. Airports should address this seriously. However, this situation has no direct connection to flight safety or aircraft crashes. In aviation, bird strike risks — which authorities take very seriously — occur near runways, taxiways, and aircraft flight paths, not inside enclosed terminal buildings. Airports across India and around the world have, at times, faced similar terminal nuisance issues. That does not automatically make flying unsafe. Raising concerns is important. Accountability is important. #FearVsFacts #AmritsarAirport
