Concept:
- An international airport is built where enough overseas passengers are generated, whether by trade, tourism, pilgrimage or a population settled abroad.
- Applying that test to Punjab gives the answer without needing a list.
Step 1: Set the test.
Ask which city in the state sends and receives the largest number of international travellers year after year.
Step 2: Apply it to Punjab.
Amritsar attracts visitors from across the world, and a very large number of families from the surrounding districts have relatives living overseas. No other city in the state produces comparable international traffic.
Step 3: Name the airport.
The airport there is the
Raja Sansi International Airport, officially Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport.
Step 4: Fix its position on the map.
Amritsar lies in the north-western corner of Punjab, close to the border, which is where the airport symbol should be marked.
Final Answer: The international airport in Punjab is at Amritsar.
