    Due to the private sector benefits, some one is supported to change the location for International Airport. Old Airport is ideal location for all sources any last 2 years back developed old Airport. The Idea for solve the problem that, old Airport to be remained as it is for either "Domestic or International" Example in Mubai 2 Airports for one Domestic & one for International. I think Airports authority should think & solve the problem. Now claiming up to the Airport as a pilgrimage place due to the roads. The problems is, if any vehicles breakdowns more dangerous for the life. Auto's are not possible to claim up with luggage. Rain session more dangerous and my advice, please reconsider remaining old Airport to be used for International or Domestic flights due to the fast developing city in Mangalore.

    One of the most important issue concerning Mangalore airport is that a common cannot visit airport without using transoirt that too a four wheeler. Even three wheeler like auto also climb the hill with heavy luggage. There is urgent need for alternative approach road which a commonman can use it though public transport or even by foot. May I appeal to the authorities to solve this important issue. Secondly, there is need for upgrading it to International port with facility for export.
