MIA confident of holding out competition from Kannur
MIA confident of holding out competition from Kannur
MANGALURU: Even as Kannur International Airport at Mattannur is looking at official launch in September 2018, Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) is gearing up to face the potential challenge that second greenfield airport in neighboring Kerala poses. The airports - Mangaluru and Kannur are aerially separated by 128-kms. Incidentally, Calicut International Airport, the other Greenfield airport is 94-kms aerially from Kannur and 212-kms from MIA.
Confident that Kannur International Airport going online will not affect MIA’s fortunes, airport director Vasamsetti Venkateshwara Rao said MIA has its own unique position in Karnataka as its only second international airport after Kempegowda International Airport at Bengaluru. "MIA has domestic-international passenger ratio of 60:40," he said adding that initial impact if any could be on international traffic with few passengers preferring to switch over to Kannur.
V V Rao told TOI that any new airport takes time to stabilize and air travellers too will weigh their options. Distance, convenience and facilities offered by the airport too matters for the discerning flyers, Rao said adding the fact that MIA ranks second among all AAI airports for customer satisfaction in South India too adds value. "We are constantly looking to evolve and add better facilities for passengers and not just keeping competition in mind," he said.
Citing an indicator of popularity of the airport, Rao said the number of passengers handled at the airport has gone up to an average of 7500/day as against 5500/day a year ago at the same time. The number of daily aircraft movements touching popular domestic and international destinations too gives us the edge over the nearest airports in Kerala, he said, adding Kannur airport as and when its gets operational will pose more questions to neighbouring Calicut airport.
