Dear UTK
I request you to provide a prayer hall inside the airport. Due to lack of prayer hall many muslims are facing problems to pray in the airport. Prayer hall in the airport is the need of the hour. Please do the needful at the earliest.

Riyadh-Mangalore is not cost effective for airlines....that is why they don't go with this adventure...even if they initiate...cost for passengers will be more...
