Plans for Bengaluru’s second airport stall as AAI flags issues with all 3 proposed sites: Report
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has expressed significant reservations about all three sites shortlisted by the Karnataka government for Bengaluru’s proposed second international airport, casting uncertainty over the ambitious project’s progress.
An expert AAI team conducted inspections in April 2025 across three potential locations, namely, Chudahalli and Somanahalli near Harohalli on Kanakapura Road, and another near Nelamangala along Kunigal Road. However, their evaluation report highlighted numerous technical, logistical, and operational challenges at each of these sites, rather than identifying a clear front-runner, said a report by The Times of India.
