Vinayak Mangalore, Nov. 12 The new integrated terminal building of Mangalore airport is likely to be operational by the end of January, according to Mr L.L.

Nearly 70 per cent of the work on the building is completed, and construction of major structures is over. The terminal building is being built at a cost of Rs 147 crore.
