Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar

Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport, identified by the IATA code ATQ, serves the city of Amritsar and the broader Punjab region. Originally known as Raja Sansi International Airport, it was officially renamed in 2010 in honor of the fourth Sikh Guru and the founder of the city. The airport traces its origins back to 1930, when it was established during the British colonial era to facilitate regional connectivity. In the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the facility ranked as the 27th busiest airport in India, handling approximately 3.08 million passengers, reflecting its status as the primary international gateway for the state. Significant milestones in its development include the 2009 inauguration of a modern integrated terminal building and a major runway extension completed in 2017 to facilitate long-haul wide-body aircraft. Furthermore, the airport has integrated sustainable practices, including the installation of a solar power plant to reduce its carbon footprint. As a critical infrastructure asset, the airport supports Amritsar’s status as a premier global destination for religious and heritage tourism, providing essential access for millions of pilgrims visiting the Golden Temple. It also serves as a vital logistics link for the region’s agricultural exports and international trade, connecting the Punjabi diaspora across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
