Mangalore: At least three new airlines are expected to start their operations by 2013 from the Mangalore airport, which was recently declared as an international airport.
Revealing this at an interactive programme organized by Dakshina Kannada District Working Journalists Association (DKDWJA) on Thursday, Mangalore airport director M R Vasudeva said: "By 2013, air services to four to five more countries are expected to start from Mangalore. However, people should not expect air services to the US and Europe because not many people from Mangalore travel to these countries."
As many people travel to the Gulf from Mangalore, couple of airlines have approached the government to start services from here, he said, adding: "If everything falls in place, the fare structure may decrease due to increased competition between airlines to Dubai and other Gulf countries.''
