Bangalore: Terminal 1 expansion might be the priority of the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) now. But the City’s exponential population growth will mean the 15 million per year capacity of the expanded T-1 will be saturated quickly.
This is precisely why despite the financial constraints, the airport promoters have the plan and design ready for a second terminal:?An ultra-modern complex big enough to cater to 35 million passengers annually!
Once ready, the rejigged T-1 will fit in 17 million passengers a year. But BIAL estimates that the airport passenger traffic will easily touch the 17-20 million figures by 2017. Here’s the rationale:?In the last five years, the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) has catered to over 50 million travellers. These volumes are widely expected to increase.
