Raja Sansi International Airport (IATA: ATQ, ICAO: VIAR), also known as Amritsar International Airport, is 11 km north-west from the city of Amritsar, India. The airport serves not only the city of Amritsar, but also the greater Punjab area, including the city of Jalandhar. Raja Sansi International Airport is named after and in honour of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's family name - Sansi.

As a government designated international airport, the airport currently handles about 75 commercial flights a week, both international and domestic.

The city of Amritsar has long remained the cultural and tourist capital of Punjab, and the demand for a fully operational international airport has increased in recent years. A newly finished arrivals terminal was inaugurated in September of 2005, and a finished departures terminal has been operational since March 2006.

Major carriers that have expressed interest in operating from Amritsar in the near future include Air Sahara, Indus Air, Jagson Airlines, Go Air, Alliance Air, AirAsia X, Thai Airways International and British Airways.
