    Dont be too late to open Duty Fre shop in Bajpe Airport ,Mangalore .Each flight out of 150 persons 100 will buy 2 Bottles as Gulf people are making dry empty boarding in each flight. At the same time open Money exchange counter. People from different countries are trying to fly via Mangalore to other states.

    I postponed my leave because i thought that i would take the maiden flight from Kuwait to Mangalore which was scheduled in October. Last week i heard its going to be in November and now its to be in December. Hopefully we dont have to wait for another 2 more months after that for the flight to take off !!!!!!!!! . Mangalore airport shows a growth in profit. Well! if the concerned authorities had to show keen interest long time back then 2005-2006-2007 would have been more profitable years. Good Luck to the Maiden Flight - Kuwait - Mangalore - Kuwait.

    Since, a large number of Mangaloreans and north keralites live and work in Saudi Arabia, it will be great help for the people if the Air India Express introduces direct flight from Mangalore to Saudi Arabia and also will be a boom for AirIndia Express undoubtedly.

    It is another happy news for Mangaloreans. There should be direct flight connections to Kolkatta, New Delhi, also from Mangalore as they will benefit many south kanarites including bank officers who are settled down in north and eastern India

    Really a good news to the people of coastal Karnataka & Kerala working in Kuwait. As the Mangalore sector is operated by Air India Express alone they can charge the passeners as they like. The Govt of India should grant Mangalore Airport staus as International airport and open the doors for other airlines to operate in order to have healthy competition .
