New station planned at Bengaluru airport under suburban railway project

Travelling to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) may be a big hassle now, but things are set to dramatically change in the next few years.

India’s third busiest airport is poised to get four rapid transit stations within its premises, one more than originally planned, that will help travellers reach different parts of the city with unprecedented ease.

The airport will have two stations under the Sampige Line of the 148.17-km Bengaluru Suburban Railway Project (BSRP), senior officials in the Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) Limited said. Only one station was originally proposed to be built within the airport premises under the Sampige Line.
