Mangalore: In a setback to air travellers, three airlines are set to withdraw a total of five domestic flight services at Mangalore International Airport from March 29.
Sources in the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and airlines told The Hindu that the five services to and from Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mumbai would be withdrawn from Saturday when the summer schedule of airlines would come into effect.
A major impact of this decision is that there would be no direct daily flight connectivity between Mangalore and Hyderabad and the lone late evening daily flight service from Mangalore to Bangalore would come to an end. However, Direct connectivity to Bangalore and Mumbai would not be severely affected as there are other operational flights.
Last month, the Air India Express had withdrawn its international flight between Mangalore and Kuwait.
