In a move to boost connectivity between the two nations, Myanmar’s private carrier Air KBZ started its chartered flight service between Mandalay and Imphal on Saturday.
The inaugural chartered flight arrived at the Bir Tikendrajit International Airport in Imphal around 11.30 am, and was welcomed with the traditional water cannon salute.
The Air KBZ flight carried around 72 passengers from Myanmar and the return flight will depart Imphal with 48 passengers, including five officials, said Manipur education minister Radheshyam, who was present at the launch event.
