Bangalore Airport
Replacing HAL Bangalore International Airport, the all-new Bengaluru
International Airport started its operations on the night of 23rd May
2008. Located at Devanahalli, almost 50 km from the city, the new
airport has its construction started in July 2005. It was ranked as the
fourth fastest growing international airport, as per World Airport
Traffic 2007 report, released by Airports Council International.
Occupying an area of 4050 acres, Bengaluru International Airport was
primarily designed to handle only 3.5 million passengers per year.
However, it was later redesigned and its handling capacity increased to
about 12 million passengers every year.
The expansion of the Bengaluru International Airport (BAIL) also
resulted in an increase in the size of its terminal, number of aircraft
stands, new taxiway layouts and supporting infrastructure. All the
aircraft stands in BAIL have a fueling pit, a facility never seen before
in Indian airports. The airport currently has one runway, which can
accommodate all types of aircrafts, including the Airbus A380. The
fourth-busiest airport in India, coming shortly after Mumbai, New Delhi
and Chennai, Bangalore International Airport is going to have business
centers, tax-free shops, entertainment centers, malls and office space
very soon.
