Bengaluru needs a second airport, but with good planning

The Hindu  

The years-long demand for a second international airport for Bengaluru has now reached a decisive stage. Just days after the Tamil Nadu government declared its intent to build a 2,000-acre airport in Hosur, Karnataka has unveiled plans to build a much bigger aerodrome and identified six locations for the mega project. Despite a two-year pandemic-induced slump in air traffic growth, the Kempegowda International Airport had addressed the city’s mounting demand for more flights and capacity. A first step, as planning and mobility analyst Ashwin Mahesh puts it, should be to set up a Second Airport Steering Group involving all the right stakeholders. Independent aviation analyst Sanjeev Dyamannavar, while acknowledging the need for a second airport, agrees that the Hosur airport will address the needs of Electronics City and surrounding areas within the Karnataka border.
