The Union Cabinet is likely to take a view on granting international airport status to Bhubaneswar and Imphal airports.
The Cabinet, which is meeting tomorrow, will also take up the amendments in the bilateral air service agreement between India and Slovenia.
The international airport status to Imphal airport holds significance because of Manipur's close ties with neighbouring Myanmar.
With India becoming more aggressive in its "Look East policy" and Myanmar opening up, Manipur is likely to become a significant regional hub for international flights to South East Asian countries.
Manipur and other North-eastern states have considerable traffic to South-East Asian countries.
Similarly, the matter to grant Bhubaneswar's Biju Patnaik airport international status would also be discussed.
