New Flight to Dubai: Onus on State Government

Mangalore: All eyes are on the State Government which has been requested to provide an immigration counter at the Bajpe airport to facilitate the launch of the Air-India Express flight to Dubai. Air India Express is a low-cost airline of Air India.
Any delay in setting up an immigration counter will come in the way of starting the service. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) cannot permit the service if the counter is not set up as per BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) guidelines.
A three-member team of senior officials of Air India, which arrived here on Monday, has reportedly told the AAI that after the State Government assures that it will set up immigration facilities at the airport, Air India will require two weeks to finalise preparations for introducing the flight. The team inspected facilities at the airport.
Air-India Express has proposed that its flight from Dubai will arrive at the Bajpe airport at 8.20 pm and leave for Dubai at 9.20 pm.
