“Agartala’s Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport has expanded its air connectivity with the launch of new direct flights linking Agartala to Bagdogra and the resumption of flights to Silchar after nearly 30 years. Air India Express has inaugurated the Agartala–Bagdogra route, while IndiGo is set to resume Agartala–Silchar flights, marking significant enhancements in regional access. The newly built 30,000 sq. metre terminal at MBB Airport can handle both domestic and international passengers during peak hours, solidifying its status as the Northeast’s second-busiest airport after Guwahati. With direct air links to ten key Indian cities and future plans to start international services to Chittagong, the airport is recognized for its modern facilities and rising importance as a regional hub. Land for the airport, like several others in Tripura, was donated by the state’s royal family, and the site played a strategic role in World War II, having been bombed by Japanese aircraft in 1943. The airport currently ranks tenth nationally for customer satisfaction and manages 4,000 to 5,000 passengers daily with up to 16 flights per day.”
