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.
