Air India Express, India's first international budget airline, will link Amritsar and Mangalore to Dubai from the next month. Thereby, it will fulfil the long pending demand of travellers from the regions.
 
According to a spokesperson of the airline the maiden flights would take off on October 2, birth anniversary of father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi.
 
Two weekly flights will fly between Amritsar and Dubai. A large chunk of travellers from Punjab go to Dubai for employment purposes and they have been seeking a direct link between the border district and Gulf nation.
 
These flights would be progressively stepped up in the near future depending upon the strength of passengers.
