Starting on Monday Ait Mantra will be offering daily flights from Chandigarh to Amritsar and Jammu, offering the people in those regions direct connection between the cities. The flights will be operated on two Beechcraft aircraft that each have 18 seats and the flight will be about an hour long. The route was formerly and briefly serviced by Jet, who set up operations in 2010, but pulled the flights shortly after starting them.
Officials say that the new flights to Amritsar and Jammu will become feeder flights for the other airlines, rather than becoming competition. As of yet, the airline does not have a set schedule for the flights and will for the time being, depart for Amritsar at around 8:30 am and to Jammu around 7:30 pm. Should the response to these flight be favorable, they will become permanent. Airport Director HS Toor said that they are ready to welcome the airline and they hope passenger response will be favorable.
