Bajpe is a small town located in the city of Mangalore. Bajpe is around 18KM from the heart of the city of Mangalore and connects to Kinnigoli via Kateel, Muchur via Permude, Gurpur and BC Road via Kaikamba and to Suratkal via MRPL. St Joseph's Junior College is a landmark educational institute run by the Christian Brothers. The Mangalore International Airport is located at Bajpe and is popularly known as the Bajpe Aerodrome. Prior to the construction of the new runway which can land A320 type aircraft, only the smaller A319 and B737 could land. It also used to be one of India's most dangerous airports, as landing on the old runway (still being used) did not give much leeway to the pilot since the runway is on a table top.
