MoU soon to improve air connectivity in NE

New Delhi: A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed soon between Union Ministry of Civil Aviation and State Governments of Assam, Manipur and Tripura for better regional connectivity.
This was disclosed by Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha in a media interview soon after holding an official meeting with Manipur Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam and Chief Secretary O Nabakishore here recently.

“We will also be taking up necessary (airport) expansion activities within two/three months so that international flights from South Asian countries could land here,” said Sinha, adding, “Upgradation of the airport is a genuine demand and our job is to facilitate it.”


When asked about increasing number of flights in the NE, the Union Minister said that it is the prerogative of the private operators.

Soon after his arrival here, the Union Minister accompanied by high officials of both Civil Aviation Ministry and Airports Authority of India (AAI) inspected the infrastructure at Imphal International airport.
