Mangalore International Airport.
The name of the city 'Mangalore' has been changed to 'Mangaluru', thus the airport has been renamed as Mangaluru International Airport
An official Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) supplement has been published by the Airport Authority of India (AAI), which announces the change of city and airport name from Mangalore to Mangaluru by December 1.
As per the AIP supplement, the goal is to officially inform all the stakeholders about the name change of AIS (Aeronautical Information Service) products for Mangalore airport and Mangalore city.
It said the name of the airport has been changed from "Mangalore" airport to "Mangaluru International Airport, Mangaluru" and the name of the city has been changed to "Mangaluru".
According to the AAI, the AIP is the fundamental aviation document, and its primary purpose is to meet international requirements for permanent aeronautical information exchange and the long-term, temporary changes required for air navigation.
The airport was given to the Adani Group in October 2020 to operate, manage and develop the airport by AAI for 50 years.
In April, Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) had become the second busiest airport in Karnataka for domestic and international travel requirements due to a steady increase in the number of passengers.
