Apart from international flights, domestic flights of four airlines — AirAsia, Air India, Star Air, and Vistara — will also operate from T2.
T2 was initially set to commence its international operations on August 31. However, a day before international flight operations were to start at T2, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) announced that the proposed shifting of international operations to T2 had been postponed.
T2 is referred to as ‘Terminal in a Garden’, and has been designed as a tribute to the ‘Garden City’ of Bengaluru.
The construction of the terminal began in October, 2018, with BIAL planning to build it in two phases. Phase 1, covering 255,645 square metres, will cater to 25 million passengers per annum (MPPA), while the second phase, which is in the planning stage, would be able to handle 20 MPPA. Once both phases are complete, T2 will be able to handle 70 MPPA.
