Mangaluru: At night at most of the states, including Karnataka, has resulted in passenger loads dipped for domestic flights operating after 9pm from Mangaluru International Airport (MIA).
Indigo operates three flights after 9pm.
Flights to Bengaluru are 21:20, Hyderabad at 10pm and Chennai at 10:20 a.m.
The airline executive said that they pay attention to passenger trends in passenger loads scheduled after 9pm at the airport, since the last two days, especially with bound flights for Chennai and Hyderabad.
“The passenger load is around 95%, reduced to 60%.
This is mainly due to the imposition of night hours,” Executive said.
Also, the loading of passengers to Mumbai recorded negative growth, which can be caused by a required RT-PCR test.
A air traveler often says that the duration of travel is about an hour.
“It is not feasible to travel at night, when the restrictions are enforced.
We may face discomfort due to the illness of transportation facilities, and the restaurant is closed.” A airline official said the reduction in the passenger load was seen in a flight that operates on that day.
“The passenger burden gradually fell, due to the soaring number of Covid-19 across the country.
People avoid travel, afraid of kuncian or restrictions that might make them stranded,” the official said.
“The passenger movement is good in December.
We hope that the flight sector is not through another crisis because of the third wave,” the official added.
Meanwhile, Spicejet began his service on the route Mangaluru-Sharjah, which will operate four times a week, on Saturday.
