The airport is located near [[Bajpe]], around {{convert|20|km|mi|abbr=on}} north-east of the city centre. Several daily flights connect Bajpe with most major cities in southern and western India as well as many major cities in the Middle East. Until 2005, its small {{convert|1600|m|ft|abbr=on|sigfig=4}} [[runway]] meant that it could only handle [[Boeing 737]]-sized aircraft; slightly larger aircraft can now be handled. [[Kingfisher Airlines]] operates short-haul flights from Bajpe Airport using [[ATR 72-500]] aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The operation of international flights started in 2006 with [[Air-India Express]] flying to Dubai.&lt;br /&gt;

==New terminal building==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The new airport project has been taken up at a cost of about Rs 50 million, to be developed in an area of about 583 acres of land. In the first phase, the new terminal building, built at a cost of Rs 14.7 million over 70 acres of land, has come up.  This building is centrally air-conditioned, and covers an area of 18,220 square metres.  Facility to handle Indian and foreign passengers separately has been provided.

==Accidents and incidents==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mangalore International Airport has an impeccable safety record. It has new world class facilities certified for International flight operations. In its almost 60 years of operations only 2 accidents have been reported, both of which have been attributed to human error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On 19 August 1981, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Indian Airlines Flight 557]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, a [[Hawker Siddeley HS 748|HAL 748]] VT-DXF overshot the {{convert|5783|ft}} runway at Mangalore-Bajpe Airport in wet weather.

One of the passengers on board was [[Veerappa Moily]], then Finance Minister of Karnataka,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news&lt;br /&gt;
