Dubai - Mangalore AI Express : Mind Your luggage

Dubai: Air India Express, which operated to Mangalore on October 3 the very first International flight at Bajpe is currently experiencing heavy rush from the Dubai - Mangalore passengers as well as heavy baggage.
Over the last two weeks or so, passengers are carrying heavy baggage despite of restriction of 30kg per person. Now that the hassle of changing the aircraft in Mumbai has been totally eliminated, it is possible that passengers are carrying extra luggage even by paying excess fare. Though such passengers willingly pay the excess fare, the aircraft's infrastructure and handling facilities at Mangalore airport appear to be unable to cope with the excess.
Recently some of the passengers who travelled by the direct flight have faced inconvenience with part of their luggage arriving on later dates. Excess luggage is being despatched by Air India Express' next available flight because of the capacity problem or local handling problem at destination port.
