Imphal: Alliance Air will start new flight services between Imphal and Silchar on November 24, 2026. Airport officials confirmed the route will run twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday. The airline operates these flights using the Viability Gap Funding scheme to support regional travel.
The service falls under the central government's UDAN scheme. Launched in October 2016, this program helps make air travel affordable for people in tier-II and tier-III cities. It provides financial backing to keep regional routes running when passenger volume fluctuates.
AAI Imphal Airport posted the news on social media to highlight the growth of the sector. The announcement stated, "Flight services on the Imphal-Silchar-Imphal route are scheduled to commence from 24th November 2026." This move aims to improve passenger movement and strengthen connectivity across the region.
