Brief history of this route

Route development

Calicut and Imphal are both important regional gateways, but they sit in different corners of India with limited direct network overlap. For many years, travel between Kerala and Manipur depended on multi-stop journeys through major hubs such as Bengaluru, Kolkata, or Delhi. As domestic aviation expanded and more airlines built hub-and-spoke schedules, this city pair became easier to book as a single itinerary even without a nonstop flight.

Demand on the route has been shaped by student travel, business movement, family visits, and government-related trips. Calicut International Airport serves the Malabar region and the Gulf travel market, while Imphal Airport is the primary air link for Manipur and a key access point to the Northeast.

Airlines operating today

Today, the route is typically served through connecting flights rather than direct services. IndiGo is one of the most common choices because of its broad domestic network and frequent connections through Kolkata and Bengaluru. Air India also appears on many schedules via Delhi or Kolkata, while Air India Express may be used on certain legs depending on timing and availability.

Because schedules change by season and day of week, the practical route can vary from a short one-stop connection to a longer multi-segment trip. Travelers usually compare total duration, baggage rules, and layover length more than the base fare alone when choosing the best option.
