Mangaluru International Airport expands flight connectivity to key destinations in summer
Mangaluru: Mangaluru International Airport is set to enhance air connectivity to Bengaluru and other key domestic and international destinations as part of the Summer Schedule 2025, which comes into effect from March 30. The expanded schedule aims to provide passengers with increased travel options and seamless connectivity.
As part of the revised schedule, the frequency of flights between Mangaluru and Karnataka’s capital, Bengaluru, will increase from the current seven daily flights to eight. IndiGo will operate six flights, while Air India Express will run two flights. From May 23, IndiGo will add another flight, taking the total number of daily flights on this route to nine.
The Mangaluru-Mumbai sector will continue to have five daily flights—three by IndiGo and two by Air India Express. Flights to Delhi will remain at one per day by both IndiGo and Air India Express. Hyderabad will have two daily flights, with an additional flight on three days a week, all operated by IndiGo. Chennai will continue to see two daily flights, also operated by IndiGo.
On the international front, Air India Express will now operate both of its weekly flights to Bahrain directly from Mangaluru, instead of routing one through Kannur. The airline will also continue its two daily flights to Dubai, a daily flight to Abu Dhabi, and four weekly flights each to Dammam and Muscat. Additionally, there will be two weekly flights to Doha and one each to Jeddah and Kuwait.
IndiGo will introduce a larger aircraft, the 232-seater Airbus A-321 Neo, on its daily Abu Dhabi route to increase seat availability. The airline will also continue its four weekly flights to Dubai.
