Mysore/Mysuru: The inaugural flight of Alliance Air between Mysuru and Mangaluru from the
Mysore Airport at Mandakalli on Dec. 11 was witness to a special moment.
The flight operation itself was special as the flight will cater to the travel needs of many Mangalureans living in Mysuru and many Mysureans living in Mangaluru. The special moment was when India Post released flight special covers. While one special cover was taken from Mysuru to Mangaluru, another cover was taken back in the return flight. The front of the special cover from Mysuru to Mangaluru had the pictures of Mahishasura and of Yakshagana artiste. Incidentally, Mysuru has the Mahishasura statue atop Chamundi Hill and Mangaluru is famous for Yakshagana. The postal cover was addressed to Senior Post Master, Mangaluru Head Office.
