KIA T2: Garden city’s pathway to greater heights

The Hindu  

The Bangalore International Airport Limited, operators of the Kempegowda International Airport, have for long envisaged the airport to be what is billed “Gateway for New India” and the inauguration of the first phase of the newly built terminal 2 on November 11 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a small step towards realising this. “There is no provision for T3 at the airport, terminal capacity is not the only challenge, there are others factors like airspace capacity and the runway capacity,” Agarwal said. “To achieve the government’s goal of decongesting Bengaluru and developing industry in the Mysuru and Hassan areas, the airport should be ideally located somewhere around the towns of Ramanagaram and Channapatna,” the report stated. Fairfax India which has 54 % stake in BIAL in its interim report for the six months ended June 30, 2022 said that “construction of terminal 3 has been delayed until BIAL’s fiscal year 2034.” KIA is the only airport in south India to operate independent parallel runways, enabling aircraft to land or take off simultaneously on both the runways.
