In a major boost to connectivity, Jalandhar is all set to get its renovated airport in Adampur. After years and months of demand to operationalize Adampur Airport to boost Jalandhar's connectivity with other states, it is soon going to be a reality.

As per reports, MP Sushil Rinku announced that flight services from Adampur Airport will start on March 2, 2024. Furthermore, Rinku revealed that the Adampur Airport will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While sharing this information, MP Sushil Rinku reportedly said that this will be a big benefit not only to the people of Jalandhar but also to the people of the entire Doaba region. He said that the first flight would be started by Star One company, after which flights will continue to run continuously from here.
MP Rinku said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate many domestic airports across the country on March 2, which includes Adampur Airport.
