The Centre on Tuesday launched its hub-and-spoke aviation model at Amritsar airport, enabling international passengers to complete check-in, immigration, customs and baggage formalities at the origin airport before transiting through Delhi for their overseas flights, a move aimed at reducing transit hassles and strengthening global connectivity from northern India.
The initiative was inaugurated in the presence of Civil Aviation Secretary Samir Kumar Sinha and Airports Authority of India (AAI) Chairman Vipin Kumar, while Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu addressed the event virtually.
