Mangalore: The multi-crore new integrated terminal building of Mangalore airport at Kenjar near here will finally see action, albeit on a trial basis from 6 am on August 2. The Airports Authority of India in a release here on Saturday announced its decision to shift operations to the new integrated terminal building from Monday. Both domestic and international aircraft operations will be handled from the said new terminal.
Airport director M R Vasudeva told STOI that travel operations would commence from the new terminal, closer to the city by nearly six-kilometres. Vehicles coming to new integrated terminal building would do so from road laid adjacent to Shree Devi Institute of Technology, and exit from the road adjacent to Dakkan Park. The existing road to the terminal is narrow to facilitate easy two-way movement of vehicles, he said.
On the spin offs of this move to the travelling public, Vasudeva said there would be clearer demarcation of arrival, departure and visitors lounge. Simply put, Vasudeva said the new integrated terminal building would reduce congestion for all concerned.
