Ludh-Delhi flight passenger count reaches 22

Ludhiana: Ludhiana-Delhi flight continued to get some response as the number of passengers crossed the 20 mark for the first time after the resumption of the flight. Airline officials expect the number to increase substantially after the hotels open.
The flight operations between Ludhiana and Delhi had resumed on May 25 and on the first day 11 passengers had arrived from Delhi, whereas just five passengers had board the flight to Delhi from here. Last Saturday, the number of passengers from Delhi had risen to 26 and those boarding from Ludhiana were 16.
Air India officials said that on Tuesday 30 passengers arrived from Delhi on the flight whereas 22 passengers left for Delhi in the same flight. They added that whereas the number of passengers coming to the city are on expected lines and are increasing, the number of passengers taking the flight from Ludhiana was a surprise as the number was below 20 since the resumption of the flight.
Airport officials said that they expect that number of passengers taking the flight to city to rise after June 8 when hotels open. They added that this was because of the fact that people from outside who wish to come to Ludhiana would have somewhere to stay, which was not the case previously.
