Starting April 3, the non-stop service will operate on Wednesdays from Tiruchirappalli International Airport (TIA) and Thursdays from Mangalore International Airport. This strategic addition to the flight schedule aims to cater to the needs of pilgrims and travelers, particularly those embarking on a pilgrimage to the revered Vailankani shrine.

The non-stop flight, designated as IX 1498, will depart every Thursday at 5 am from Mangalore International Airport to Tiruchirappalli. The return flight, IX 1499, will depart from Tiruchirappalli at 12:50 pm. The flight duration is approximately one hour, providing passengers with a convenient and efficient travel option.

Furthermore, these flights will also operate non-stop between Jeddah and Mangalore International Airport.

The return flight, IX 498, will depart from Jeddah at 7:25 pm and arrive in Mangalore early at 3:40 am.

The introduction of this non-stop flight service is expected to significantly enhance connectivity and accessibility between Mangalore and Tiruchirappalli, catering to the growing travel demands of passengers and facilitating pilgrimage journeys to the Vailankani shrine and beyond.
