Brief history of this route
Route development
Imphal and Trivandrum are both important state capitals, but they sit at opposite ends of the country, so air travel between them has traditionally depended on connecting services rather than a dedicated nonstop route. Demand grew gradually as domestic connectivity expanded from Imphal Airport and Trivandrum International Airport, especially after Indian carriers began building stronger hub-and-spoke networks.
In earlier years, passengers often had to route through Kolkata or Delhi for nearly all long-haul domestic travel from Manipur to Kerala. As airlines added more frequent services from Imphal to major hubs and increased connections from those hubs to southern India, the trip became more practical for students, government travelers, medical passengers, and families.
Airlines operating today
Today, the route is typically served through one-stop combinations rather than a single direct flight. IndiGo is usually the most common choice because of its large domestic network and frequent hub connections. Air India also offers viable itineraries through its major transfer points, while other carriers may appear in mixed-ticket search results depending on the day.
Because schedules change with season and demand, the best option is often the itinerary with the shortest layover rather than the lowest base fare. Morning departures from Imphal can sometimes connect well into afternoon arrivals in Trivandrum, while evening departures may suit travelers who prefer overnight or late-night transfers.
