KIA gears up for return of domestic flights
Having received hundreds of passengers arriving by evacuation flights from multiple international destinations, the Kempegowda International Airport is geared up for the calibrated return of domestic flights from May 25.
On Wednesday evening, too, an Air India Express Boeing 737 flight from Muscat landed at the airport with 179 returnees. Of the passengers, 115 were from Bengaluru and 64 from Mangaluru. All of them were shifted to institutional quarantine centres spread across the city.
To ensure their safety and also those arriving and departing by the domestic flights, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has already upgraded its social distancing, thermal screening, sanitisation and disinfection tunnels at KIA. The terminal is fumigated and contactless F&B experience introduced.
