Bengaluru Airport Approved for Mixed-Mode Runway Operations to Boost Capacity
Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport has received DGCA approval to implement mixed-mode runway operations, becoming the second Indian airport after Delhi to do so. This change will increase the airport's capacity from about 60 to 85 aircraft movements per hour, enhancing efficiency by allowing flexible use of both runways for arrivals and departures. The new system aims to reduce delays, fuel consumption, and emissions while improving flight scheduling and runway utilization amid rising air traffic demand.
