Highlighting the current situation, Patil noted that Kempegowda International Airport is the third busiest in India, following Delhi and Mumbai, having handled 37.5 million passengers and over 400,000 tonnes of cargo last year. "This immense pressure highlights the necessity for a second airport to accommodate future growth," he added.
Kempegowda International Airport recently expanded with the launch of its second terminal in November 2022, now managing both international and select domestic flights. The first phase of Terminal 2, with an estimated construction cost of Rs. 13,000 crores, spans approximately 250,000 square meters, with an additional 441,000 square meters planned for the second phase.
