Mangaluru: A move by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) to add two more aprons at the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) at Kenjar here is in sync with the steady growth of passenger traffic from this airport. Taken up at an estimated cost of Rs 4 crore, the additional aprons will take the total number of parking stands for aircraft to eight and enable the airport authorities to handle additional flights at any given point in time. The work is expected to be completed in December.
J T Radhakrishna, airport director, MIA said the construction of the new aprons will enable AAI to handle eight flights at a time, if the need arises.
While the six aprons are spread over an area of 48,000 sq m, the new aprons coming adjacent to the existing aprons will be spread over around 8,000 sq m, he said, adding this will enable AAI to handle seven narrow bodied air bus/boeings and an ATR.
"We have set aside one parking slot exclusively for ATRs," he noted.
