Imphal: In a major push to strengthen regional air links, the Manipur Helicopter Service run by the state government is fast emerging as a lifeline across difficult terrain. The service connects Imphal with Jiribam, Tamenglong, Churachandpur, Aizawl, and Ukhrul through regular daily operations from morning till evening.

Officials said the service has earned public trust for its steady focus on safety, security, and passenger comfort. It has also played a key role in linking remote hill districts with the state capital, cutting travel time that often takes hours by road.

In a fresh step toward better passenger access, the service is now in its final stage of shifting from offline ticketing to a fully online reservation system. The move is expected to make booking simpler and more transparent for travelers.

The initiative is being rolled out in coordination with Airports Authority of India and Imphal International Airport. Authorities believe the new system will help improve travel planning and strengthen links between Manipur’s districts and the rest of the country.

The online booking portal is expected to go live soon at: www.heliservice.manipurtransport.gov.in

The transition marks another step toward improving access and mobility in one of India’s most challenging regions.
