Divya Goyal The first flight from Delhi to Ludhiana is set to land at the newly established Halwara civil terminal on Friday morning, marking the commencement of operations at the new Ludhiana airport. Air India's A320 aircraft, with a capacity of 160 passengers, will land at Halwara and be given a “water cannon salute”, a ceremonial aviation tradition in which fire tenders spray water to form an arch over the aircraft to welcome a new flight.
