Acft appears to have been operating IX 812, which had an STA of 0630.

Here's a link to the airport site (and satellite view) of IXE Airport:

Mangalore International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm in Dubai at the moment and IX is a major operator here; many, if not most, pax would have been domestic/construction workers whose families rely on remittances from family members in Dubai.

Sadly, this accident brings to an end a very long period of exceptional growth in Indian aviation without fatal accidents.
