Mangalore: New Rules to Govern Airport Terminal Entrance


Mangalore: New Rules to Govern Airport Terminal Entrance

Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)

Mangalore, Aug 25: Some modifications have been affected to the rules governing the movement of vehicles and people in front of the integrated terminal of the local airport.

According to new provisions, people arriving at the airport should move through the ‘U’ bend to reach the terminal’s entrance instead of directly approaching the entry point.  Likewise, the vehicles of the passengers should reach the front portion of the arrival hall through the fly over.

Once the passengers get seated, the vehicles should take the ‘U’ bend and move via fly over. The people as well as passengers using arrival and departure halls of the terminal have to use the common gate located below the fly over.

Taxies and cars which get parked at the airport for over five minutes have to pay a parking fee of Rs 40. The rate for vehicles using premier car parking facility has been fixed at Rs 60.

If there are any grievances or complaints relating to the above modifications, the same may be addressed to the airport director or terminal manager, the airport management said.

    the free time for vehicle to pick up the arriving passengers of 5 minutes is too short a period instead it should be atleast 15 minutes. it's reasonable. Just for the sake of providing free parking do not fix a time of 5 minutes it doesnot make any sense.pl reconsider the issue in a practical way and fix the computerised access card

    Free parking time to be increased to 15 minutes atleast. Still you can't park. There are vehicles in front at the entrance with alighting passengers. You need time to reach exit after just ping passengers forget parking.

    I had been to the airport last sunday to my cousin. At the entrance one old man gave me a premium parking slip for Rs.60/- It was around 11.15 Though i reached exit within 5 minutes i paid 60 Rs as i was already billed Rs. 60 by that budda !!!

    Mr. Vasudev what is premium parking ? Keep electronic token system for time like international airports. Otherwise local langoors (contractors) just collect money...

    Please remember passengers already pay airport tax. Therefore increase free parking time to 15 minutes & start electronic biulling.

    I had a bad experience recently when i went to the airport to pick my brother. I had noticed that the time of entry is manually recorded so I started a stop watch timer as soon as i was given the slip. I reached the exit within 5 minutes. 4mins 45sec to be exact, but I was asked to pay the parking when I showed the watch the people became very rude and argued.

    Why is the minimum time kept only for 5 mins when there is no proper system to record the exact time of entry.

    I feel the minimum time to enter the airport should be 15mins and install a computerized time checking when the vehicle enters and leaves.

    Dear Airport Director & Terminal Manager.Thank you for the offer to comment on your new rule.Your new rate for parking is too much.Why dont you make it free.It should be free or atleast charge only Rs.5/= or Rs.10/= per day.You should know that, no one is coming to spend/waste time there.People visit airport just to see their friends & relatives. If they see your beautiful bldg.& the movements of flights,what is bothering you.You need money for breathing at the airport also? Charging for everything and sending the public money to the Delhi Corrupt Govt.Please think of helping to arrange first direct flights for the passengers arriving from Gulf countries(especially from Dammam Airport). Passengers are already struggling and spending long hours to reach their home and while returning back to work place also.Please do not compare to other airport & squeeze money from the public.Let the other airport authorities learn good work from you.If you & other airport staff are not paying,then please make the same rule for all.You will be blessed by the GOD for good work.

    The rain has defaced the infrastructure of the front portion.
    Firstly, they should use superior paint which will last few seasons.
    Secondly, the Visitors should be provided with a glass-enclosed visitor’s gallery with good unobstructed view.
    Thirdly, the minimum time for vehicles without parking fees should be 10 minutes and
    Finally, the parking region should have self-explanatory ARROW-MARKS at every strategic road junctions so that the new visitors will not get confused inside the airport premise.

    You don't know why Dubai flights reduced this year....It is because AIE office moved from Mumbai to Cochin and AIE Engineering office moved to Trivandrum. Moreover Keralite MP moved to Civil Aviation department...All happened this year....So, Mangalore bound Dubai flights moved to Kerala.

    Dear readers,please note the point of charging Rs.40 and sixty for parking for more than 5 minutes.How can you expect people to off in 5 minutues and even if they could do it,then how can you reach the exit gate within 5 minutes if there is traffic.I am really surprised why the people of Mangalore are silent on this issue.

    What do you want to expect, After all it is not hard earned money of Mr. Vasudeva, Airport director. If you take thorough audit of past 10 to 15 years expenditure on the old airport as well as new airport, you would understand how much money they have wasted. Whose money is this? Isnt that money belong to general public like you and me. Do you think that this airport was built in the public interest? Just for some individuals gain. Otherwise all places were acquired by Airport Authority, except the Dakkan Park just in front of Airport building and which looks very ugly too. May be this belongs to some politician. You had recently seen in Daijiworld some 80 crore will be spent on this new airport. Firstly there is no proper road approach, and most importantly there is no future plan, if the airport needs to be expanded. It looks like they will expand by using pillars from the bottom (near kenjar) and will be called hanging airport.
    People dont try to praise Vasudeva too much, there may be one day you will see him as corrupt director. System does not keep Honest people in one place for long period, even people demand. This is how the system works in India. (share and care)

    why have the number of flights from Dubai to Mangalore reduced to only one from November??? Even the ticker fare has increased to almost 30 to 40% comapred to last year and also if you compare the fares in october 2011 to decemeber 2011. this is just exploiting the passengers bcaz of the monopoly.

    When will other airlines consider starting operations between Mangalore to Dubai/Abu Dhabi/Muscat/Bahrain.....

    Many people fly through metal birds. There are many in the society not afford a chance to fly. Some at least want a chance to see how flight takes off and land especially school children.

    It was the problem in old Air port terminal. They take some charge for going to gallery. But nothing was visible there. If kids out of curiosity go to a side to see poly's shout at them. Of course security is a matter of concern. But that should not be a limitation for kids or visitors just came to see airport get some knowledge or view about the airport or aeroplanes.

    At least in developing this new terminal this could have been given importance. Instead they focussed on polishing the terminal to satisfy the passengers and only passengers. Visitors are charged from a long distance it self and if we go inside we can only see the polished floors, modern equipment, Fancy people moving and just Five Star Hotel or Mall Scenario.

    Air ports are designed by Engineers. There are many engineers around may be in Air Port Management also. Unfortunately nobody bothered about it. A good Gallery to give a view of landing and/or takeoff would have been better than this polished Mall...

    Hope this may lead to re-think and comments please....
