India: With 2 runways, KIA targets 95m fliers a year
Boosted by the addition of a second runway, Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is now projected to cater to 95m passengers per annum in the future, an upgrade from 65m. The daily Air Traffic Movements 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 Oct 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. Despite the ups and downs in the aviation market, the airport has seen a perceptible growth trend over the last 4 years. <br/>
