    If Mangalore Airport has attained the International status, how come foreign airlines are still not allowed to land. Air Arabia and other airlines in ME are ready to start opertion to Mangalore provided the landig rights are given.Do let us known what is the actual status and can we expect a postive response from concerned auathorites for reciprocal fiight from Gulf countries, so that the long suffering NRI'S of Gulf will get some kind of relief Air India Express by its high priceing policy though it claims itself as budget carries has totally exploied these low income earners.. Just compare the price of Air Arabia with Air India express, it is like paying tive class charge for low economy facility offered by AI express

    AAI, please allow foreign airlines to operate from Mangalore. Airindia Express, due to which so much revenue is coming into Mangalore, is robbing people with high airfares and low baggage allowance. Even a KG of weight is not let go without paying. Allowing foreign careers will reduce the burden on people using Airindia Express out of compulsion and attract more visitors to Mangalore.
