A total of 27.5 million passengers traveled through the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) during 2022, recording for the airport an 82 per cent recovery in passenger traffic since the pre-Covid year 2019, the airport operator said on Tuesday.
KIA recovered 85 per cent of traffic in the domestic sector and 65 per cent in the international sector during the calendar year. Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) which operates the airport traced the “rapid recovery” to factors including relaunching of key routes and the introduction of routes connecting leading business hubs and travel destinations. The past year saw 24.36 million domestic passengers and 3.14 million international passengers traveling through KIA.
