How the Khowai Transfer Works

Khowai's own airstrip is not operational, so the aircraft leaves from Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport in Agartala. The first leg is a ground ambulance with oxygen and monitoring from your location in Khowai (the District Hospital, a private clinic or home) to MBB Airport, about 1.5 hours by road on NH 8 via Teliamura. A doctor and paramedic take over the patient's care at the aircraft and stay with them through the flight. A second ground ambulance then takes the patient from the destination airport straight to the hospital. One family attendant can fly along, subject to weight and space.
