28 july 2026 : Punjab Khabarnama Bureau : Passengers travelling from Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar, can now enjoy smoother international travel through ‘Easy Connect’, a transit facility designed to simplify journeys to overseas destinations.
The initiative allows travellers to book a seamless connecting itinerary through partner airlines, reducing the hassle of separate bookings and making international travel more convenient.
What Is ‘Easy Connect’?
‘Easy Connect’ is a transit programme that enables passengers to travel from Amritsar to international destinations using a single, coordinated travel plan.
Instead of booking separate domestic and international flights independently, travellers can benefit from a streamlined connection through participating airlines and partner airports.
How It Benefits Passengers
The service is aimed at making international travel more convenient by:
- Offering smoother flight connections.
- Reducing the inconvenience of multiple bookings.
- Providing better coordination between connecting flights.
- Making overseas travel from Amritsar more accessible.
For passengers travelling to destinations in Europe, North America, the Middle East and other regions, the facility can simplify the overall travel experience.
Boost for Amritsar Airport
The introduction of Easy Connect is expected to strengthen Amritsar’s position as an important international aviation hub in northern India.
With a large number of passengers from Punjab travelling overseas, improved connectivity could encourage more travellers to use Amritsar as their preferred departure airport instead of flying from other cities.
Greater Convenience for NRIs and Tourists
Punjab has a significant Non-Resident Indian (NRI) population, many of whom frequently travel between India and countries such as Canada, the UK, the US and Australia.
A simplified connecting travel option can help make these journeys more comfortable while also benefiting tourists and business travellers.
What Travellers Should Know
Passengers planning to use Easy Connect should check with their airline regarding participating routes, baggage transfer policies, visa or transit requirements and the availability of the service for their destination.
