Nagaland Post | Agencies | Imphal, Jun 24 ()
With land being acquired in Imphal, Manipur is set to get its first international airport. While Tripura will also have its first international airport soon, Manipur’s has special significance because of the state’s close ties with neighbouring Myanmar.
Singh said he is looking beyond Myanmar. Manipur and other North-east states have considerable traffic to South-East Asia, and the state government is discussing the possibility of low-cost airlines flying to Imphal from Bangkok. The Thai authorities are seriously considering this, the CM said. “Our aim is that flights from our international airport should at least cover Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia to begin with.”
