Imphal Airport, airport in India
Imphal Airport is an international facility in Manipur that handles civilian and military aircraft operations. It has passenger terminals and can accommodate aircraft of various sizes serving national and regional connections.
The facility was originally established as a military air base during the 1950s. It was later opened to civilian aviation and grew into a key hub for air connections in northeast India.
The airport shares its name with the city and serves as a vital link for the region of Manipur. It enables visitors and residents to travel for work, family visits, and cultural exchanges across India.
The airport sits near the city center and is easy to reach by taxi or local transportation. Arriving early gives you adequate time for check-in and security procedures without rushing.
The airport is one of the few commercial ports in northeast India that actively shares its runways with military operations. This shared use means travelers often see both civilian passenger planes and military aircraft at the same facility.
