Imphal: In a significant boost to air connectivity in the northeastern region, including Manipur, SpiceJet is set to commence its flight operations to Imphal from February 10, 2026.
The airline will operate daily flights connecting Imphal with Kolkata, Guwahati, and Mumbai using Boeing 737 aircraft. The services aim to strengthen air links between Manipur and major metropolitan cities through key transit hubs.
