Mangalore: The Mangalore airport at Bajpe will soon get the international airport tag, making it the second city in Karnataka to have an international airport after Bangalore. The airport will be renamed before December 20, 2011, when the celebration of its 60th anniversary culminates.
Union minister for corporate affairs, M Veerappa Moily, announced this in Mangalore on Sunday.
“The international tag was overdue for this fine airport. The civil aviation minister has assured me that the international tag would be announced shortly,” he said.
Outlining Centre’s plans for Karnataka, he said the state needs electricity but the government has not ensured there is adequate infrastructure to distribute power produced at Udupi Power Corporation Limited (UPCL).
