Daijiworld Media Network—Mangalore (RD/CN)

Mangalore, Oct 25: The first flight of Air India Express (AIE) to Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), from Bajpe Airport, was flagged-off by union minister for external affairs S M Krishna at 12.45 pm on Sunday October 25. The aircraft carried 112 Haj pilgrims. 

Krishna presented a rose to each pilgrim before they boarded the flight.  

It was indeed a joyous occasion for Haj pilgrims of undivided Dakshina Kannada, Kasargod, Uttar Karnataka, and Malnad regions as they now have an easier means of going on the holy pilgrimage to Mecca. 

AIE flight number 1302 will have a stopover at Kozhikode (Calicut) and the onward journey to Jeddah will be by AIE flight number 8036. 








































AIE city manager Chellam Prasad, local Haj committee members, state minister for Wakf and minority development Mumtaz Ali Khan, Rajya Sabha member Oscar Fernandes, Blossom Fernandes, former union minister Janardhan Poojary, and several dignitaries were present on the occasion.

The Haj training camp for pilgrims and a stage programme were held at Ansari Masjid grounds, Bajpe, on Sunday morning after which Krishna also flagged-off the buses taking the pilgrims to the airport.

Religious leaders under the leadership of Ullal Tangal Assayed Abdul Rehman Musliar performed the rituals related to the pilgrimage.

The AIE express is charging exorbitant high prices in Dubai Mangalore Sector which is way above the rates charged by private airlines. The governments (both Central and State) are doing nothing for the welfare of the people of the state in UAE. They should allow introduction of new airlines in this route and allow the market free market economy to thrive instead of looting the ordinary people using the monopoly position.

 Dear Pilgrims, May Almighty accept your Haj. This First flight carrying Haj pilgrims can be a step towards Operating DIRECT PASSENGER FLIGHT SERVICES TO Jeddah/Riyadh/Dammam/Mangalore Sectors. Thousands of NRIs from Mangalore, Coastal Karnataka & Sorrounding districts, Kasaragod and Northern parts of Kerala are working in and around these Saudi sectors. The passenger traffic is huge in Dammam, Al-Khobar, Dhahran, Al-Hassa, Jubail, Riyad, Jeddah, Yaumbu, Makkah and Madeenah. Direct flights from Mangalore to these sectors will be a sigh of relief for thousands of passengers which include elderly people, women, children and also sick. And financial gains to the Airlines. Thanks to Sri S.M. Krishna, the Aviation Ministry and to all those who worked hard for this Haj flight. We kindly request you to work for the Direct Passenger flights to Jeddah/Riyadh/Dammam/Mangalore sectors at the eraliest possible.

Are we going to have flight to Singapore any time? It will help a lot of people from coastal Karnataka to travel to the Far East, Oceania, Western parts of America. Being the land of highly educated, there are a lot of people working/residing or simply travelling for pleasure to these areas. Hope some airline will think on these lines soon.
