Air Transport is considered as an important means of transport in the North-Eastern part of our country because:

(i) Big rivers: Presence of big rivers like Brahmaputra make it difficult to construct roads and railways. Airways are suitable when rivers get flooded.

(ii) Dissected relief: Uneven surface-not suitable for the construction of roadways and railways-costly affair-can be easily travelled by airways.

(iii) Dense forests: Dense forests hamper the construction of roadways and railways.

(iv) International Frontiers: International borders of Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, etc., can be easily travelled by airways without much hassles.
