The Airport Authority of India has issued an Aeronautical Information Publication Supplement (AIP) stating that the city and airport names will be changed from Mangalore to Mangaluru effective December 1.
“The purpose of this AIP Supplement is to inform all stakeholders regarding the name change for Mangalore Airport and Mangalore city in AIS (Aeronautical Information Services) products: the name of the city ‘Mangalore’ is changed to ‘Mangaluru’ and the name of the airport ‘Mangalore’ Airport is changed to ‘Mangaluru International Airport, Mangaluru’,” the AIP issued last month stated.
According to the Airports Authority of India, the AIP is the fundamental aviation document designed to meet international criteria for the interchange of permanent aeronautical information and long-term temporary adjustments required for air navigation.
The AAI turned over the airport to Adani Group in October 2020 to run, manage, and develop it for the next 50 years.
