Dubai, Jul 31: Bad news for passengers travelling from Dubai to Mangalore Airport. Air India Express which was the first airline to fly Dubai - Mangalore directly, and which is currently operating two flights a day to Mangalore, has announced reduction in baggage limit due to load problem.
The new baggage policy will come into effect from August 22, 2013. Those who book the ticket on or after August 22, 2013 can carry only 20 kg baggage instead of the current 30 kg.
There will be no change in AI Express baggage policy from Mangalore to Dubai, as it has been allowing only 20 kg of free baggage since its operation started in 2006.
Speaking to daijiworld, an AI official in Dubai said that the new policy is applicable not only to Mangalore but to all the destinations from Dubai to Indian airports on Air India Express only.
