Explaining the reasons for this expansion at Amritsar, Mr Sabharwal commented:
"The Punjab market has tremendous scope. We are starting our new flights as we are now getting a brand new fleet of aircraft, including new generation Boeing 777 aircraft. The civil aviation sector has been recording unprecedented growth [in Punjab] which is safely above 35 per cent per annum. We are expanding our operations in the north irrespective of new international flights started by Jet Airways. Since the growth is phenomenal, there is enough for every carrier,"
