Flights to Amritsar in Qatar route expansion

Amritsar has become Qatar Airways' ninth destination in India as the airline introduces new routes.

The airline will now run four non-stop flights per week from Doha to the North Indian city. The move was prompted by high demand for seats to Amritsar ahead of Diwali and the busy winter holiday season.

Diwali is a Hindu festival that is celebrated for five continuous days, with the third day marking the main Diwali event - the festival of lights.

Each flight offers 144 seats, of which 12 are in business class. Qatar airways has ensured that late evening connections from Doha are available to passengers flying from Europe, North America, Africa and the Middle East.

Akbar Al Baker, chief executive officer at Qatar airways, said: "Amritsar is highly under-served by international airlines so we are pleased to be filling a void with our award-winning service."

The carrier's route expansion will continue over the next seven weeks, with flights to Goa scheduled to begin from October 25th.
