Operations at Terminal 2 of the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru will start Sunday, the auspicious day of Makar Sankranti. Star Air will be the first domestic airline to take off towards Kalaburgi from KIA’s Terminal 2, said officials.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had inaugurated Terminal 2 of the airport on November 11 last year.
Hari Marar, MD and CEO of Bangalore International Airport Ltd, said T2 would have one airline operationally ready over the period of the next few months, every 15-30 days. “By the end of March this year, we aim to operationalise all the domestic airlines that have moved to T2. During this phase we also aim to achieve operational stability because T2 is a large and complex infrastructure with many interconnected and moving parts,” said Marar.
