The Mangalore International Airport has recorded a 21.71 per cent growth in passenger traffic during 2013-14, a senior official said today.
Airport Director J T Radhakrishna said the airport handled 12.50 lakh passengers during the period which is an all-time high.
The gross revenue during the period was up by 26 per cent and stood at Rs 63.89 crore, he said.
He further said that 54 per cent growth in international traffic was possible due to the services by Jet Airways to Dubai and Air India Express to Dammam.
The withdrawal of the Kochi-Mangalore-Kuwait flight, which had been operating twice a week, would have no affect on international traffic, he added.
