Traffic
The load factor for the International Flights from the Mangalore Airport has been very good, with all the flights running full. Air India Express has been continuously adding more flights to the Mangalore - West Asian routes to meet the ever increasing demand and bring down the prices and maintain the load factor.
The Area Control Centre at the airport, provides navigation facility for landing and take off of aircraft at Kozhikode and Kochi airports. International Airports in Kochi and Kozhikode do not have this facility. Area Control Centre facility is used by the pilots to land and take off in Kochi and Kozhikode. Mangalore airport officials can give directions to the pilots to land from 35,000 feet above the ground level to 15,000 feet. From 15,000 feet, it is the respective airport officials who give the directions.

Famous quotes containing the word traffic:
“Cry;—and upon thy so sore loss
Shall shine the traffic of Jacob’s ladder
Pitched betwixt Heaven and Charing Cross.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
“Too much traffic with a quotation book begets a conviction of ignorance in a sensitive reader. Not only is there a mass of quotable stuff he never quotes, but an even vaster realm of which he has never heard.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“Irony, forsooth! Guard yourself, Engineer, from the sort of irony that thrives up here; guard yourself altogether from taking on their mental attitude! Where irony is not a direct and classic device of oratory, not for a moment equivocal to a healthy mind, it makes for depravity, it becomes a drawback to civilization, an unclean traffic with the forces of reaction, vice and materialism.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
