People driving to Dimapur Airport in Nagaland are often unsure whether parking fees are charged or if short visits are free. The airport follows a mixed parking system. Vehicles are allowed limited free access, after which fixed charges apply. This is in line with Airport Authority of India (AAI) norms.

Under the current arrangement, vehicles entering the airport premises for quick pick-up or drop-off are allowed up to five minutes of free time. Drivers who enter and exit within this period are not required to pay any parking fee. However, if a vehicle stays beyond five minutes, parking charges become applicable based on the type of vehicle.
