Mangaluru: The Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) has commenced the operationalisation of two more passenger boarding bridges or aerobridges.
With this, the total number of aerobridges at the MIA has gone up to six.
The airport has been using aerobridges since 2010.
This new facility aims to give much operational flexibility to airlines especially during rains where shifting passengers from the plane on the apron to the terminal and vice-versa from the open bay poses a challenge.
Attached to the new integrated terminal building, these aerobridges also enable the airport to optimally utilise the 11 parking stands available on the apron.
While six of these stands are connected to the terminal with aerobridges, the rest are open bays.
The airport operationalised the new aerobridges in consultation with the stakeholders that includes the airline and the airport security group of CISF to ensure a seamless experience for the passengers, stated MIA spokesperson.
The move to put in use these aerobridges used both for domestic and international flight movements will ensure that the passengers are not exposed to the vagaries of nature while boarding or alighting from a plane, the spokesperson noted.
