Boosted by the addition of a second runway, the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is now projected to cater to 95 million passengers per annum (MPPA) in the future, an upgrade from 65 million. The daily Air Traffic Movements (ATMs) is also expected to touch 1,500 over the next decade.
The Bangalore International Airport Limited's (BIAL) basis for this projection: Surge in air travel,
the introduction of new routes and additional flights to cater to this growth.
Once both the KIA runways are upgraded and operationalised by October 2020, the big growth will
begin to show. A BIAL spokesperson has indicated that the growth will be driven by mixed-mode
operations on the new runway and navigational enhancements.
The airspace will also be reconfigured with additional arrival and departure routes. "Based on
these improvements, our projection for the next decade is in the region of 1,350-1,500 ATMs per day."
Despite the ups and downs in the aviation market, the airport has seen a perceptible growth trend
over the last four years. Passenger volumes at the KIA grew by 12.5% and flights grew by 11.6% for
the period April-November 2019 over April-November 2018.
