Flights to Amritsar
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Amritsar is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport (ATQ), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 12,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE, 46 km), Pathankot Airport (IXP, 99 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport | ATQ | 12 km (7 mi) | 12,000 ft | 756 ft |
| Allama Iqbal International Airport | LHE | 46 km (29 mi) | 11,024 ft | 712 ft |
| Pathankot Airport (regional) | IXP | 99 km (62 mi) | 8,970 ft | 1,017 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,000 ft, ATQ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 756 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
