Planning (1991–2004)

The original airport serving Bangalore was HAL Airport,

located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city centre. However, as
Bangalore grew into the Silicon Valley of India and passenger
traffic to the city rose, the airport was unable to cope.[12] There
was no room for expansion and the airport apron could only
park six aircraft.[13] In March 1991, former chairman of the
National Airports Authority of India (NAAI) S. Ramanathan
convened a panel to select the site for a new airport. The panel
decided on Devanahalli, a village about 30 kilometres (19 mi) BLR/VOBL
north of Bangalore.[14][15] The State Government made a
proposal to build the airport with private assistance, which the
Union Government approved in 1994.[16]

In December 1995, a consortium consisting of Tata Group, Location In Devanahalli ,

Raytheon and Singapore Changi Airport signed a Karnataka , India
memorandum of understanding with the State Government
regarding participation in the project. In June 1998, however,
the consortium announced it was pulling out of the project due
to delays in government approval. These included disputes
over the location of the airport and the fate of HAL
Airport.[14][17]
In May 1999, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the
Karnataka State Industrial and Infrastructure Development
Corporation (KSIIDC) of the State Government signed a
memorandum of understanding regarding the nature of the
project. It would be a public–private partnership, with AAI and
KSIIDC having a 26% share and private companies having the
remaining 74%.[16] In January 2001, the State Government
created the company Bengaluru International Airport Limited
(BIAL) as a special purpose entity and began searching for
BLR/VOBL
partners.[18] By November, the project had attracted Unique
Zürich Airport, Siemens Project Ventures and Larsen &
Toubro.[19] Construction was expected to begin in October
2002;[20] however, governmental delays persisted.[21][22] The
BLR/VOBL (India)
concession agreement between the State Government, the
Union Government and BIAL was signed in July 2004.[23] In
it, BIAL required the closure of HAL Airport.[24]

Construction and opening (2005–2008)

Construction finally commenced on 2 July 2005.[25] When a

study predicted the airport would receive 6.7 million BLR/VOBL
passengers in 2008, the airport was redesigned from its initial
capacity of 4.5 million passengers to 11 million,[26] with the
terminal size expanded and the number of aircraft stands BLR/VOBL (South Asia)
increased. The cost of the airport rose to ₹19.3 billion
(US$270 million).[27] Construction was completed in 32
months, and BIAL set the launch date for 30 March 2008.[28]
However, due to delays in establishing air traffic control
services at the airport, the launch date was pushed to 11
May[29] and finally 24 May 2008.[30] BLR/VOBL

As the opening date for the airport approached, public criticism

arose, mainly directed toward the closure of HAL Airport. In BLR/VOBL (Middle East)
March 2008, AAI employees conducted a massive strike
against the closure of HAL Airport along with Begumpet
Airport in Hyderabad, fearing they would lose their jobs.[31]
The Bangalore City Connect Foundation, a group of citizens
and businessmen, staged a rally in mid-May, claiming the new
airport was too small for the latest demand projections.[32][33]
On 23 May, a hearing was held at the Karnataka High Court
over poor connectivity between the city and the airport. BLR/VOBL
Ultimately, the State Government decided to go ahead with
inaugurating the new airport and closing HAL Airport.[34]

The first flight to the airport, Air India Flight 609 from BLR/VOBL (Asia)
Mumbai, was allowed to land the previous night as it would be Runways
continuing to Singapore shortly after midnight. The aircraft Direction Length Surface
touched down at 10:40 pm on 23 May.[35] The airport became

amid the inauguration of the expanded terminal building.[41]

Kingfisher Airlines once operated a hub and was one of the largest airlines at Kempegowda Airport.
Following its collapse in October 2012, other airlines stepped in to fill the gap in domestic connectivity by
adding more flights.[42] In addition, Air Pegasus and AirAsia India launched hub operations at the airport
in 2014.[43][44]

The first phase of expansion was launched in June 2011 and finished in December 2013.[45][46] The
₹15 billion (US$210 million) project doubled the size of the passenger terminal to 150,556 square metres
(1,620,570 sq ft), involving the construction of additional facilities for check-in, immigration, security and
baggage reclaim.[46][47] One domestic gate and three international gates were added as well. A large,
sweeping roof connects the original building with the expanded areas.[48] The expanded terminal, dubbed
"Terminal 1A", has raised the annual passenger capacity of the airport to 25 million.[49]

Ethiopian Airlines began the first nonstop flights between Bangalore and Africa in 2019, linking the city to
its hub in Addis Ababa.[50] Two years later, an Air India Boeing 777 arrived from San Francisco, marking
the first direct service between the United States and Bangalore, as well as South India as a whole.[51][52]
The flights operate under a temporary arrangement between the Indian and American governments that
facilitates nonstop air travel between the two countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Air India has not
indicated whether it will continue to fly this route after the agreement ends.[53] United Airlines intends to
initiate its own flights on the San Francisco–Bangalore route in May 2021.[54]

Ownership
The airport is owned and operated by Bengaluru International Airport Limited (BIAL), a public limited
company. The Government of India has granted BIAL the right to operate the airport for 30 years, with the
option to continue for another 30 years. The company is a public–private consortium venture. 26% is held
by government entities Karnataka State Industrial Investment and Development Corporation (13%) and
Airports Authority of India (13%), and 74% is held by private companies Fairfax Financial (54%) and
Siemens Project Ventures (20%).[55][56] [57]

Facilities

Runways

Kempegowda International Airport has two runways in use.

Runway 09L/27R: 4,000 by 45 metres (13,123 ft × 148 ft), CAT I, ILS equipped.[58][59]
 Runway 09R/27L: 4,000 by 60 metres (13,120 ft
× 200 ft), CAT III, ILS equipped.[58][59]

Four years after it was laid, the runway was entirely resurfaced
because of a serious decline in quality.[60] From 11 March to 3
April 2012, it was closed daily between 10:30 am and 5:30 pm.[61]
As a result, BIAL accused construction company Larsen &
Toubro of building the runway poorly.[62] South of runway 09/27
are a full-length parallel taxiway and the apron, which extends
from the Blue Dart/DHL terminal to the passenger terminal. Duty Free

The construction of the second runway at the airport is now

complete, and was officially in use from 6 December 2019, when an Indigo airlines flight (6E 466) to
Hyderabad took off from runway 09R.[63] The runway will cater to all types of aircraft including Code-F
aircraft like Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8 and will be equipped with CAT IIIB ILS. The runway will
also feature an associated parallel taxiway and two cross-field taxiways on the east linking the new runway
to the existing north runway and the aprons at Terminal 1 and the upcoming Terminal 2. The existing
runway will also be upgraded as part of the expansion work.[64]

The old runway (Runway 09L/27R) was closed from 22 June 2020 for nine months for rehabilitation and
strengthening.[65] The runway was opened for service again on 31 March 2021 and now put into service
with the south runway making KIA the first airport in South India to have parallel runway operations. [66]

Terminals

A single integrated passenger terminal accommodates both

domestic and international operations. It covers 150,556 m2
(1,620,570 sq ft) and can handle 20 million passengers
annually.[47][49] Check-in and baggage reclaim are situated on the
lower floor, while departure gates are located on the first floor.
Gates 1, 2, 12–18, 28–30 on the first floor are used for domestic
departures, gates 31–42 on the first floor are used for international
departures, gates 3–9 and gates 19–25 form the Western and
Eastern bus gates respectively.[67] Gate 41–42 is equipped to serve International departures section at
the world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380.[68] Kempegowda International Airport
Lounges are provided by Above Ground Level and Plaza
Premium Lounge, which also operates a day hotel in the
terminal.[69] For VIPs there is a separate 930-square-metre (10,000 sq ft) lounge.[48][70][71]

Expansion

Under the second phase of the airport's expansion, a new terminal called Terminal 2 is being built.[72] The
new terminal has been designed by renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and is being
built by Larsen & Toubro.[72] The first phase was expected to be completed by March 31, 2021, but the
lockdown and resulting slowdown of construction activities is expected to delay the completion of the first
phase of the Terminal 2 expansion, and is now estimated to be operational by the second quarter of
calendar 2022. Phase 1 of Terminal 2 will augment the capacity of the airport by 25 million passengers per
annum (MPPA).[73][74]
Aviation fuel services

The airport has a fuel farm, spread over 11 acres (4.5 ha) west of
the cargo village and passenger terminal. It was built by IndianOil
SkyTanking Ltd (IOSL) but is shared by multiple oil
companies.[75] In October 2008, Indian Oil commissioned a 36-
kilometre (22 mi) fuel pipeline between its storage terminal in
Devanagonthi and Kempegowda Airport. Previously, jet fuel had
to be transported to the airport by tank trucks, which created traffic
and pollution problems.[76] Menzies Aviation Bobba and
AISATS cargo terminals viewed from

Cargo facilities

Kempegowda Airport has three cargo terminals. One is operated by Menzies Aviation Bobba Pvt Ltd and
has a capacity for 150,000 tonnes (170,000 short tons) of cargo;[77] it includes a facility for storing
pharmaceuticals.[78] Air India SATS (AISATS) operates one terminal, which can handle 200,000 tonnes
(220,000 short tons) of cargo.[77] AISATS is also constructing the AISATS Coolport, which will be able to
hold 40,000 tonnes (44,000 short tons) of perishable goods.[79] Lastly, DHL and Blue Dart Aviation jointly
operate a 20,500-square-metre (221,000 sq ft) terminal.[80]

BIAL inaugurated a separate cargo village in December 2008. The village is spread over 11 acres (4.5 ha)
and includes office space, conference rooms, a cafeteria for staff and parking space for nearly 80 trucks.[77]
It did not open for occupation until 2010 and initially suffered low occupancy, which some cargo agents
attributed to the opening delay, high rent and limited infrastructure.[81]

Future plans
The second phase of expansion is underway, which encompasses the construction of a second runway and
passenger terminal. When complete, Kempegowda Airport will be able to handle 55 million passengers per
year.[82][83] The estimated ₹40 billion (US$560 million) project received clearance from the Ministry of
Environment and Forests in September 2014.[84][85]

Ground work on the second runway began in February 2016 and the runway opened in December
2019.[84][86] Located south of the original terminal, it is parallel to runway 09/27 and measures 4,000 by 60
metres (13,120 ft × 200 ft), wider than the original runway so it can accommodate larger aircraft. The new
runway is also CAT III certified, allowing for landings in fog and other low visibility conditions.[87]

A second terminal will be constructed to cater to the airport's growth. Terminal 2 has been designed by
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The contract to construct Terminal 2 has also been awarded to Larsen &
Toubro which will be constructed in two phases. In the first phase, the terminal will cater to 25 million
passengers annually. Terminal 2 is estimated to cost ₹30.37 billion (US$430 million).[88][89]

A third runway, north of the current runway is being planned to cater to the growth of air traffic in the
airport which will be situated 1500 meters north of the current runway. Dubbed as the "New North Parallel
Runway,", the officials hope to ease air traffic congestion with the third runway.[90]

IndiGo announced in January 2019, its plan to build a second maintenance repair and overhaul facility at
the airport, which is expected to be operational by March 2020.[91]

Connectivity

Road

Kempegowda Airport is connected to the city of Bangalore by

National Highway 44 (NH 44). In January 2014, a six-lane flyover
was completed over NH 44 between Hebbal and the airport,
helping to reduce travel time to and from the city.[147][148] Two
alternative routes are under construction and will be completed by
March 2017, one through Thanisandra and the other through
Hennur.[149] The airport car park is located at ground level and The trumpet interchange between NH
can hold 2,000 vehicles.[12] The airport is served by several taxi 7 and the road leading from
Kempegowda Airport
and rental car companies.[150] In addition, ride-sharing companies
Ola Cabs and Uber have their own pick-up zones outside the
terminal.[151][152]

The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC)

provides bus transportation to major parts of the city through the
Vayu Vajra (Kannada for "Diamond in the Air") service.[153] It is
operated using a fleet of Volvo B7RLE buses. In addition, the
Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) operates a
nonstop bus service called "Flybus" between Kempegowda
Airport and Mysore, as well as a route to Manipal via
Mangalore.[154]
BMTC Volvo buses connecting the
city to the airport
Rail

A Namma Metro link between Bangalore city and the airport is planned with two stations at the airport. A
high-speed rail link was previously considered and went as far as obtaining approval from the Union
Government.[155] However, the project was eventually scrapped because of high costs and the lack of stops
along the line.[156][157]

A halt at the KIA boundary commenced operations in January 2021.[158] The train halt is connected to the
airport terminal via short five-minute shuttle busses. Everyday five trains from the city towards Devanahalli
stop at the KIA halt and five trains heading back.[159] Future plans include hyper electrification of the route
to introduce comfortable MEMU trains to the airport. Besides, MEMU trains from Mysore that terminate at
Yelahanka could be extended up to Devanahalli via the KIA halt station, benefitting airport-bound
passengers from Mysore, Ramanagaram and Bidadi.[160]
