Reproposal for Padubidri International Airport

Summa: Airports Authority of India has proposed to the state government to suggest a new site for international airport. The study is going on at the chief secretary level to build new airport at Padubidri.

Irrespective of whether both NH-66 & NH-75 are Economic Corridors coastal Karnataka will have only one 'Mangalore Coastal Economic Zone' for all its domains of excellence like petrochemicals, marine, healthcare, tourism including medical tourism, agriculture & food processing etc. And it is becoming more & more certain that Padubidri is going to be international airport for this economic zone. So, let us start building knowledge cities for all 'domains of excellences' of 'Mangalore CEZ' around Padubidri including 'Karnad Sadashiva Rao Marine Knowledge City' at Mulki. Of course for 'agriculture & food processing knowledge city' Puttur may also be considered.

Mangaluru International Airport Runway 120m Shorter From December 31
Quote:
It means that of the 2,450m of runway available, only 2,330m will be available for safety purposes. It will not affect passengers per se, but there will be a load penalty on airlines, especially international airlines carrying cargo, which will have to be reduced.
To enhance safety, Mangaluru airport runway length cut by 120 metres

Quote:
Bad weather conditions near an airport can create communication problems between the pilot and ground staff. Mangalore Airport is one of the most difficult airports for takeoff and landing, due to its close proximity to the sea and the size of its runway.
