Flights to Imphal
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Imphal is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bir Tikendrajit International Airport (IMF), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,009 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Silchar Airport (IXS, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bir Tikendrajit International Airport | IMF | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,009 ft | 2,540 ft |
| Silchar Airport (regional) | IXS | 98 km (61 mi) | 5,993 ft | 352 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,009 ft, IMF handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,540 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
