Gearing up for the resumption of international flights post-July 15, the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) has seen a marginal rise in domestic passengers ever since operations resumed on May 25.
Arrivals and departures combined, KIA now processes 13,000 daily passengers.
Mounting Covid-19 cases in multiple urban centres linked to Bengaluru by air and frequent changes in post-flight quarantine rules have meant the rise in passenger turnout is not substantial, said most airline spokespersons.
Currently, KIA handles an average of 140 flights daily, arrivals and departures included.
Shifting quarantine rules had played havoc with the travel schedules of passengers when domestic flights resumed operations. Many had refused to pay up the amount for institutional quarantine mandated by the government.
