Direct daily flight between Aizawl and Guwahati resumed on Tuesday after a gap of eight months.
The direct air connectivity between the two cities was snapped after Jet Airways withdrew its services from the northeast on February 10.
Inaugurating a GoAir flight from Aizawl to Guwahati from Lengpui Airport, 32 km from here, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga said the state government would upgrade the infrastructure of the airport so that more airliners begin flights to the landlocked state.
Noting that air link is the lifeline for the people of the state, Zoramthanga said, "People of Mizoram, especially those seeking medical treatment outside the state, have faced severe hardships after the direct flight between Aizawl and Guwahati was discontinued."
