Dimapur is Nagaland's only airport and the commercial gateway for the state. For serious cardiac, neurological, or surgical cases, it's where patients from across Nagaland and the Manipur border stage for their air transfer to specialist hospitals.
Dimapur Airport (IATA: DMU) is the sole commercial airfield in Nagaland and the natural staging point for the entire state's air medical transfers. Patients from Kohima, Mokokchung, Mon, and the Manipur border districts road-transfer to Dimapur for onward flights to Hyderabad, Kolkata, or Delhi when local hospitals cannot provide the required level of specialty care.
Airlogic Air Ambulance's King Air B200 (VT-YUD) operates on this corridor with full ICU equipment and a medical team whose credentials are on public record. We are the operator — not a broker who sub-contracts on the day.

⭐ Most referred corridor for cardiac and transplant cases from Nagaland.
Dimapur is Nagaland's single airport, which means every medevac from the state goes through it. We have coordinated multiple transfers on this corridor and know the ground logistics — handling, ambulance access, timing — specific to DMU.
Patients from Kohima (75 km away), Mokokchung, or Mon district need ground ambulance to Dimapur before the flight. We help coordinate that handover and adjust departure timing to match the patient's road arrival.
The B200 cabin accommodates a full ICU stretcher with working space for a physician. For a cardiac or respiratory patient facing a 3-hour leg to Hyderabad, in-flight clinical capability is not optional.
