๐ข Terminal Information
Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) serves Amritsar, the spiritual and cultural heart of the Sikh religion, in the state of Punjab, India. Named after the fourth Sikh Guru, the airport is a crucial international gateway to the region, connecting it to major Indian cities and international destinations in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe. It operates from a single, integrated terminal building that efficiently manages both domestic and international passenger traffic. The modern facility features a compact layout over two levels, designed for a smooth flow from check-in to boarding gates, reflecting the airport's significance for pilgrimage and tourism.\n\nSecurity procedures at ATQ are robust and managed by India's Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). Passengers can expect multiple layers of security checks, including an initial screening at the terminal entrance, followed by thorough baggage and personal screening before entering the sterile area. For international flights, comprehensive immigration and customs processes are in place. While the airport is well-organized, it is advisable to arrive with ample time, especially during peak hours or festival seasons, as queues can form. Boarding is typically facilitated via jet bridges for larger aircraft, with some regional flights using bus transfers to remote stands.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are designed to cater to both domestic and international travelers. There are several duty-free shops offering a range of products, including international brands and local Punjabi specialties. Dining options include cafes and food courts serving a mix of Indian and international cuisine. VIP lounges provide a comfortable and quiet space for eligible passengers. Ground transportation from the airport to Amritsar city center and the Golden Temple is readily available via prepaid taxis, ride-sharing services, and auto-rickshaws.
