The Union Cabinet yesterday approved renaming of the Rajasansi International Airport at Amritsar as Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar. Guru Ram Dass Jee was the fourth of the Ten Gurus of Sikhs and was the founder of the city of Amritsar. 

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) operates and manages the existing Rajasansi International Airport at Amritsar, which is suitable for operations of ‘E’ Category aircraft (such as B767, B747 etc.) in all weather conditions.
