The new international airport at Bangalore (the famous silicon valley of India), Bengaluru International Airport started its operation on Saturday at 12:05 a.m. Indian Standard Time with the Air India’s flight IC 957 to Singapore with 144 passengers. The airport is situated in Devanahalli, outskirts of Bangalore.
From Hindu Business Line -
“The airport has arrived after a nine-year tumultuous journey and a
55-day wait to take off. Hours before the first flights, the lights
along the trumpet flyover into the airport gave it a dazzling fairytale
look while the terminals were business-like.”
I did seem to set a record for an Indian Airport -
From SIFY -
“The Bengaluru International Airport on
Saturday handled 341 air traffic movements, including 172 arrivals and
159 departures, setting a record of sorts on the inaugural day of
commercial operations.”
“The Rs 2,500-crore public-private venture is promoted by Siemens,
Unique Zurich Airport, L&T, Airports Authority of India Ltd and the
Karnataka State Industrial Investment and Development Corporation Ltd.”
Though, since the airport is 35 km from the center of Banglore, people seem to prefer the fast train connection between Chennai and Banglore.
From Times of India -
“With flights being delayed at Chennai airport and poor road connectivity from the new Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) to the city centre, many travellers are finding that taking the train to Silicon Valley is faster. The new airport at Devanahalli in Bangalore is about 35 km from the centre of the city.”
