With two international airports (Amritsar and Mohali), three domestic airports (Ludhiana, Pathankot and Bathinda) and one upcoming airport at Adampur (Jalandhar) every corner of the state is easily accessible from across the world. Punjab is also the only state in the country, which has an airport at every 80 km. Punjab government has been consistently working to improve connectivity in the state. Be it road, rail or air Punjab boasts of best in class connectivity. With two international airports in state, not just domestic travels, people from state can travel overseas uninterrupted.
