Mangalore: The Mangalore International Airport is quite safe and complete. People of the region should act as its ambassadors and help in furthering airport’s growth, said outgoing Director of the Airport M.R. Vasudeva, who retired from service on Wednesday.
Speaking at a send off function organised by Airport Authority of India, Mr. Vasudeva said Mangalore Airport was complete in all sense and had the best facilities. “The recent landing of the critical flight namely the Air Bus 310 (during the Haj Yatra) showed that the runway is capable of withstanding flight weighing 1.5 lakh kg,” he said. People need to remove apprehensions about the airport and feel free to make use of it, he added.
Mr. Vasudeva said the 2010 air crash had nothing to do either with the table-top runway or the airport system. But a lot appeared on television and newspapers that caused damage to the growth of the airport. He said the airport had the best navigational and communication facilities.
