PM Modi Makes Historic Landing Aboard C-130J Aircraft On Assam Highway #NDTV

He had taken off from the Chabua airfield after his arrival, and landed at the ELF in Moran on a stretch of National Highway-37.

In an earlier post on X, PM Modi had said the ELF would be vital for emergency response, enabling the timely deployment of rescue and relief operations during challenging situations. The Rs 100-crore ELF, a 4.2-km reinforced stretch on the Moran Bypass will act as a strategic and multi-functional runway for IAF fighter jets and transport aircraft, strengthening defence, logistics and disaster response. The facility is designed for both civil and military use, serving as an alternative to the Dibrugarh airport in case of emergency. The ELF is capable of handling fighter aircraft up to 40 tonnes and transport aircraft up to 74 tonnes maximum take-off weight. India’s first ELF was inaugurated in 2021 in Rajasthan’s Barmer district.

After landing, PM Modi witnessed a 40-minute air show, comprising Tejas, Sukhoi, Rafale and other fighter jets.
