As plans for the city’s second airport gain steam, government agencies appear increasingly inclined towards southern Bengaluru, a preference publicly articulated by Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.
And plans are also being considered to merge the two shortlisted locations on Kanakapura Road — in the south — into one one “perfect land parcel” that fits the airport’s requirements with fewer airspace restrictions and better connectivity.
The plans — outlined to DH by senior officials from the Infrastructure Development Department (IDD), the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) — come even as the state government recently picked Singapore consultancy Meinhardt EPCM to study the feasibility of all three shortlisted locations.
The locations include Chudahalli and Somanahalli (Kanakapura Road) and villages between Kunigal and Nelamangala near Tumakuru Road in the west.
The Kanakapura Road sites — located adjacent to each other — span 4,800 acres and 5,000 acres each, while the one near Nelamangala covers an area of 5,200 acres.
