Karnataka Yet to Submit Proposal for Bengaluru's Second Airport Despite AAI Study
The Karnataka government has yet to submit a formal proposal to the Union government for Bengaluru's second international airport under the Greenfield Airports Policy. The Airports Authority of India completed pre-feasibility studies for three potential sites and shared the report with the state. Meanwhile, the existing Kempegowda International Airport is expanding its capacity to handle increased passenger traffic, with Phase 2 of Terminal 2 expected to raise annual capacity to 80 million by 2030. The state is also considering a fourth site at Harohalli.
