Kingfisher, British Airways , Virgin and Indian should start daily London Amritsar flights and break the monopoly of Jet Airways on this route. Currently Jet charges double the normal fare on this route due to high demand. Instead of making a loss by competing on already well served Indian cities to London such as Banglore and Bombay, they should start Amritsar London route where there are so many passengers and not enough seats.
