Imphal's regional hospitals handle a great deal — but for cardiac, transplant, and complex neuro cases, patients need to fly. We make sure that flight is in a verified, documented aircraft with a qualified crew, not a mystery sub-contract.
Imphal (IATA: IMF) is Manipur's capital and the primary air access point for the state, as well as the staging point for patients from the Nagaland and Mizoram border districts who need to fly out for specialist care. The city's own hospitals have grown significantly in capability, but for cardiac surgery, organ transplant, or high-level pulmonology, Hyderabad and Kolkata remain the primary referral destinations.
Airlogic Air Ambulance operates the King Air B200 (VT-YUD) — the right aircraft for these longer corridors, with full ICU cabin equipment and a medical team whose qualifications are publicly listed. You don't have to take anyone's word for it.
| Route | Primary Hospital Destination | Typical Case Type | Est. Flight Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imphal → Hyderabad ⭐ | KIMS, AIG, Yashoda, Apollo Jubilee Hills | Cardiac, transplant, pulmonology | ~3–3.5 hrs |
| Imphal → Kolkata | SSKM, Apollo Gleneagles, AMRI, Fortis Anandapur | Multi-specialty, oncology, post-op | ~1.5 hrs |
| Imphal → Delhi | AIIMS, Medanta, Max Saket, Fortis Gurugram | Neurosurgery, complex cardiac, burns | ~2.5–3 hrs |
| Imphal → Guwahati | GNRC, GMCH, Down Town Hospital | Stabilisation, intermediate transfer | ~50 min |
⭐ Most referred corridor from Imphal for cardiac and transplant cases.
Too many families in the North East have been handed a verbal quote by a broker, only to find a different aircraft and an unknown crew on the day. Our public registry lists the aircraft registration, its age, its medical equipment, and the team's certifications — before you confirm a booking.
A 3-hour leg to Hyderabad for a cardiac or respiratory patient requires a functional flying ICU — ventilator, monitor, defibrillator, and room for a doctor to work. The King Air B200's cabin is designed for this. Many smaller aircraft on this route are not.
We assist families with coordinating the ground ambulance leg from Nagaland or Mizoram border districts to Imphal Airport, synchronising departure timing to minimise the patient's total transit time.
We quote a single, all-in price: aircraft, crew, doctor, medical equipment, landing fees. No "airport charges extra", no "oxygen billed separately". See our cost guide.
Bir Tikendrajit International Airport (IATA: IMF), approximately 8 km south of Imphal city centre. It handles both commercial jet services and medical charter operations.
Yes. Patients from interior Manipur districts typically travel by road ambulance to Imphal Airport. We coordinate the road leg timing with flight preparation to minimise total transfer time.
Imphal–Hyderabad typically ranges ₹6–8 lakh. Imphal–Kolkata is shorter at ₹3.5–5 lakh. All-in pricing is confirmed at booking. See the full cost guide.
In most conditions, yes — the King Air B200's range covers it nonstop. A fuel stop may be required in adverse headwind conditions; we confirm this at booking and it adds approximately 30–45 minutes to total flight time.
Our flight operations team is available 24/7. Share the patient's condition and destination and we will give you an honest assessment — aircraft, crew, cost, and timeline.
