About The Airport

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) has the unique distinction of being the first Greenfield Airport in India, established on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. This heralded a revolution in Indian aviation as more airports in the country were privatised, thereafter. In January 2001, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), formed under the Companies Act, 1956, was incorporated to build, own and operate BLR Airport. 

BLR Airport commenced operations on May 24, 2008 – 33 months from the start of construction. The Airport has seen unprecedented growth in passenger volumes having served over 33 million passengers in 2019, becoming one of the fastest growing Airports in the world. As the busiest Airport in South India and the third largest in the country, BLR Airport achieved a significant milestone on December 1, 2023, by crossing the 300 million passenger mark since the launch of its operations or Airport Opening Day (AOD). 

Vision: Enabling journeys, creating experiences and touching lives as the new gateway to India.
