Air India Express enhances Bengaluru-Mangaluru connectivity with 2 new flights

Mangaluru: Air India Express is enhancing the travel experience with the introduction of two new flights connecting Bengaluru to Mangaluru.

Starting November 15, the winter schedule promises increased connectivity, linking not just these two cities but also connecting to Chennai, Kannur, Thiruvananthapuram, and Varanasi.

Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) officials are eagerly anticipating a substantial increase in domestic passenger footfall with this latest addition to their flight schedule.

The flight timings are tailored for customer convenience, seamlessly connecting to international flights. According to information available on the Air India Express website, Flight IX 782 will commence its journey from Varanasi at 8 am, landing at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) at 10:30 am. After a quick layover of 55 minutes without changing aircraft, it will depart from KIA at 11:10 am and arrive at MIA by 12:10 pm.

The Varanasi-Mangaluru connection is only open for 10 days, until November 25. However, starting November 26, this flight will seamlessly link Chennai to Mangaluru via Bengaluru.
