Amritsar, December 19

Buoyed by a rise in the number of flyers, Batik Air, earlier known as Malindo, is set to increase frequency of its Amritsar-Kuala Lumpur flight from thrice a week to four days a week from the next month. Neos, an Italian airline, commenced Amritsar-Milan flight once a week from last week only.

Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International (SGRDJIA) Airport is now connected with two countries in Europe.

Interestingly, SpiceJet had commenced flights to Rome and Milan in November. The same month, Air-India had increased the frequency of its Amritsar-Birmingham light to thrice a week.

Yogesh Kamra, formerly a member of the Airport Advisory Committee, said direct flights to Italy offered connecting flights to New York, London, Canada and other European cities.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
