BENGALURU: The Terminal 2 (T2) of the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), which had been delayed for long, will be operationalised by the last quarter of this year, according to airport operator, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL). The pandemic and the subsequent labour shortage have been cited as reasons for the delay.
The Rs 13,000-crore terminal billed as a garden experience is being built in two phases. The first phase will have a total built-up area of 2.54 lakh sq m while the second one will have 4.41 lakh sq m. It will have a lagoon with a big outdoor garden around it. When completed, Phase-I is expected to cater to 25 million passengers annually.
