Air India to Start Direct Flights Between Amritsar and Mumbai Starting May 20

Air India has announced the reopening of bookings for its nonstop daily flight service between Amritsar and Mumbai, scheduled to commence on May 20, 2023. The airline has made this service available for booking through its website and mobile applications.

Passengers can now conveniently travel between the holy city of Amritsar and the financial capital of India, Mumbai, on an Airbus A320/321 (140–180-Seater) aircraft.

This new route will offer seamless onward connectivity from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport to various cities in southern and central India, including Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Cochin, Thiruvananthapuram, Mangalore, Coimbatore, and Goa.

Air India Amritsar-Mumbai Flights Schedule

As per the details shared by the airline, AI650: Air India flight from Amritsar (ATQ) to Mumbai (BOM) departs at 01:35 and arrives at 04:20. Similarly, AI649: Air India flight from Mumbai (BOM) to Amritsar (ATQ) departs at 22:05 and arrives at 00:55 the next day (+1).

The decision by Air India to reintroduce this flight service comes at a crucial time when the Amritsar-Mumbai route is facing a significant demand and capacity deficit due to the recent financial issues and temporary suspension of operations by GoFirst Airlines.

Yogesh Kamra, the Convenor (India) of the Fly Amritsar Initiative, commended Air India’s management for addressing this situation and meeting the needs of affected passengers.

The revival of the Amritsar-Mumbai flight service by Air India provides much-needed relief to travellers who were inconvenienced by GoFirst’s suspension of flight operations on this route.

Prior to the suspension, Go First operated two daily flights, while Indigo operated one flight per day. Air India’s decision to step in and provide a dependable and efficient flight service on this high-demand route will undoubtedly benefit passengers.
