App-based taxi services, Ola and Uber, are now offering services at Mangalore international airport. Taxi services are being made available in addition to pre-paid taxis at the airport. Thus, passengers have a choice of commuting services. Passengers have the choice to pre-book their ride or on arrival at the airport.

The airport has set aside 10 dedicated parking slots at Parking Island One, located at the entrance of the integrated terminal building near the roundabout from where these taxi aggregators operate. These taxis arrive from their dedicated staging area to the common staging area in front of the escalator on the lower ground floor from where passengers who have booked these taxi aggregators, leave for their destination.
