After a gap of 10 years, the air connectivity between Silchar — the second populous city of Assam, and Manipur capital Imphal is set to resume from October.
The flight on this route will also connect Mizoram capital Aizawl with Silchar via Imphal.
It has been nearly 40 years since one could reach Aizawl from Silchar by flight.
A senior official at Silchar airport said that under the Regional Connectivity Scheme UDAN (Ude Desh Ke Aam Naagrik), Alliance Air, which is a division under the Air India Asset Holdings Private Limited, will be operating flight services on this route on a daily basis.
