Mangaluru International Airport adds 2 aerobridges for commuters’ ease

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) has recently put into operation two additional passenger boarding aerobridges, bringing the total count of these facilities at the airport to six. This enhancement provides airlines with much-needed operational flexibility, particularly during the monsoon season when transferring passengers between the plane on the apron and the terminal becomes challenging.

According to an official statement from MIA, the new aerobridges are integrated with the new terminal building, allowing the airport to make the most efficient use of its 11 parking stands on the apron. Among these stands, six are now connected to the terminal via aerobridges, while the remaining stands remain open bays.

The decision to introduce these new aerobridges was made in close consultation with stakeholders, including airlines and the airport security group of CISF, to ensure a seamless and pleasant experience for passengers.

The aerobridges are designed to accommodate narrow-bodied aircraft such as the Airbus A320, A321, or Boeing 737-800, which are commonly used by airlines for both domestic and international flights to this coastal city.

Since 2010, Mangaluru International Airport has been progressively increasing the number of aerobridges, and this recent expansion marks the airport's latest effort to enhance its facilities and services for travellers.
