Rewind 2023: KIA’s ‘Terminal in a Garden’ takes flight, turns the cynosure of all eyes

The Hindu  

Passengers got a feel of the Kempegowda International Airport’s Terminal 2 as operations began this January after being officially inaugurated in November 2022. Referred to as ‘Terminal in a Garden’, T2 initially catered to domestic operations of a few airlines as Terminal 1 handled the bulk of domestic and international flights. On September 12, all international flights shifted operations to T2 as the new terminal, along with the domestic flights of AirAsia, Air India, Star Air, and Vistara. In November, BIAL said it has successfully completed a major terminal transformation project, which includes the repurposing of the former International area within T1 to create a dedicated and expansive space for domestic operations.
