    It is all happy news to read that our Mangalore is connected to more international destinations. My suggestions are that there should be domestic flights to New Delhi, Kolkatta, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Jaipur, Madurai via Thiruchirapalli from Mangalore .

    It is really interesting part AAI taken as development of Mangalore Airport. I think next step should connecting most part of GCC connections via or to/from Mangalore. Waiting for these news appearing in daijiworld.com, which is one of the best communication to keep NRI updated.

    Its really very nice to to see Mlore airport having more flights.The air connection between Mlore and Cochin is very good. I was travelling to Mlore every month via Bangalore, I was losing lot of time in Bangalore airport. Now I can fly directly to Mlore. thanks to Kingfisher Airlines and Mr. Mallya.

    Its really pleasing to see Mlore airport grow at this pace. There was a time when the only flights available was the domestic flight to Mumbai considering the fact that Mlore airport was one of the oldest in the country and Shri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru landed here once upon a time to tour South India. The recent introduction of the international flights and the increase in domestic flights only shows the perseverance put in by the many people who wanted to put Mlore in the aviation map and we residents are very grateful for what hard work they have put in.

    Suggestions which could be added would be to start flights to the East also which will increase tourism for the region and ofcourse include an official portal website of Mlore airport which would be helpful in looking at the flight status for people coming from far off places and ofcourse it will also help in recieving feedback from passengers who travel through Mlore airport.. All the best to the whole team
