Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu Sunday announced that flight operations from the civil terminal building at Halwara airport near Ludhiana are expected to begin in May. This announcement comes nearly two months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the newly built terminal building in February.
The terminal building was inaugurated after missing several deadlines in the past eight years.
Bittu, who contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Ludhiana on a BJP ticket but lost, wrote on his official Facebook page: “A proud moment for Punjab. Flight bookings from Halwara Airport set to begin in April, with the first flight expected between 10-15 May. Operations will start with a 160-seater A320 economy aircraft. Initially, there will be two daily flights between Delhi and Halwara – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – marking a major leap in connectivity for the region.”
“This milestone will boost travel, trade, and economic growth across the state. Grateful to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji for his vision and continued commitment to strengthening infrastructure and empowering Punjab. I also remain committed, as Union Minister, to continuously working towards Punjab’s growth and ensuring such transformative projects reach the people,” he further wrote.
The first flight from Halwara to Delhi is expected to be operated by Air India. The terminal building has the capacity to handle 150 domestic passengers at a time. There are plans to expand the facility and operate international flights from it in the coming years.
