Mangalore, June 9: Mangalore International Airport is going to receive an additional aerobridge apart other amenities. The decision was taken by Airports Authority of India.
The Mangalore Airport already has two air-conditioned aerobridges for passengers to get into the aircraft from the terminal building and vice versa.
The two Aerobridges have been imported from Indonesia. In the wake of increasing passenger traffic in Mangalore Airport, a demand was placed forth for another aerobridge. Each of these aerobridges cost Rs 4 core to Rs 5 core and the same would be borne by Airport Authority of India.
Additional Parking Bay:
The AAI has also sent a Rs 10 crore proposal for an additional parking bay and the same proposal is likely to be implemented. The airport presently has a parking bay where six aircrafts can park in the new airport and three at the old terminal.
The airport sees as many as 40 domestic and international flights every day to various destinations including Sharjah, Doha, Bahrain, Muscat, Abu Dhabi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Goa and Chennai.
