<h2 class="blog-hed2 pb-lg-4 pb-3 text-lg-center">Overview Mangalore International Airport</h2>
<p class="blog-para">The airport is near Bajpe, around 13 km (8.1 mi) northeast of Mangalore city centre. It is on top of a hill, with two tabletop runways (09/27 and 06/24). Only two other airports in India have tabletop runways &ndash; Kozhikode and Lengpui. The very small and basic terminal was renovated in the early 2000s, adding parking controls, additional seating and additional caf&eacute;s. The airport was initially used for limited domestic flights, mainly to Mumbai and Bangalore.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The operation of international flights started in 2006 with Air India Express flying to Dubai. Mangalore Airport was a customs airport for six years, from 3 October 2006 to 3 October 2012, before it was granted the status of International Airport.</p>
<p class="blog-para">Until 2005, the small 1,600 m (5,249 ft) runway meant the airport could only handle Boeing 737-400 size aircraft. The longer runway now handles slightly larger aircraft. On 10 January 2006, an Airbus A319 of Kingfisher Airlines landed on the new runway. On 28 September 2012, an Airbus A310 landed for the first time at Mangalore. It was a charter flight for the Hajj pilgrims to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p class="blog-para">From 2011 to 2012, the airport had a revenue of ₹ 42.64 crores and an operating profit of ₹ 87.6 million, up from ₹ 8.3 million in 2006&ndash;07.
