Air India operates special flights to/from Imphal

Air India rose to the occasion by operating special flights to and from Imphal on 6th and 7th May 2023, to facilitate stranded people during the prevailing situation in Manipur.

Yesterday, the 159 passengers including 10 infants on board flight AI1889, which flew the Delhi-Imphal-Delhi route, arrived back in Delhi at 12:35 p.m. from Imphal. The second of today’s special flights from Delhi to Imphal departed aboard Air India’s AI 1889 at 9.30 a.m.

Before its 6.45 p.m. scheduled return to Delhi from Imphal, it then took off and landed in Guwahati as another special flight. All Air India flights to and from Manipur from May 4 to May 6, 2023, are eligible for a full fee waiver on rescheduling or canceling, provided certain requirements are met.

The needs of individuals impacted by the ongoing unrest in Manipur are still being addressed, despite the fact that both Air India and IndiGo have made steps to help those affected by the violence.
