Why is air travel preferred in the North-Eastern states of India? Explain any three reasons.

Air travel is preferred in the North-East:

1. In the north-eastern states of India, the terrain is rugged and non-uniform which makes it hard for land transport.

2. Big rivers, mountainous areas, and dense forest pose a problem to create land routes.

3. The risk of floods and problems along international borders makes air travel preferable.

Explanation: North-East is a geographically dense area consisting of mountains, hills, rivers, and valleys. Hence, air transport is more preferred.
