Punjab Takes Flight as PM Modi Unveils Halwara Airport’s New Terminal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday opened the new terminal building at Halwara Airport. He called it a moment of great happiness for the people of Punjab, particularly for those living in Ludhiana and the surrounding areas.

While speaking to the crowd, the Prime Minister said,

The inauguration of a terminal building at the Halwara Airport is a moment of immense joy for the people of Punjab, especially Ludhiana and surrounding areas. Ludhiana, as we all know, is a vital industrial and commercial hub in Northern India. This city is known for its dynamic people. Our Government is working tirelessly to improve air connectivity for this city, reflecting in the ongoing works for a modern airport.

The new facility is expected to make travel easier. It will reduce reliance on distant airports and create new opportunities for business and tourism. The terminal will have improved passenger amenities and is designed to handle increasing traffic, enhancing the overall travel experience.

Local leaders and officials welcomed the opening. Union Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu, Union Ministers of State Murlidhar Mohol and Ravneet Singh Bittu, along with Mann, attended the inauguration of the terminal building at Halwara airport.

While emphasizing the relevance of Halwara Airport, Mann said that it has been of utmost importance for strategic purposes. He thanked the Indian Armed Forces for their contribution to the development of the airport terminal. Mann also appealed to the Centre to further enhance international connectivity from Mohali Airport.

The project supports the Centre’s broader goal of expanding regional aviation infrastructure. It aims to ensure quicker, more accessible air travel and balanced growth throughout the country.
