Hi,

Yeah, it is happening and most likely to start operations end May. There was some pilot testing which apparently went off well. But still there are issues like skilled personnel for manning tower, etc.

Also, we tried to visit the place - we were not allowed. And lot needs to be done near the entrance area. it just looks like some desolated place with not even a proper road.

The authorities are trying to create a road with as less as signals as possible to reach the airport fast. So, you see lots of these magic underpasses coming up in various signals like Kaveri circle, windsor manor bridge, etc

Another major issue still to be sorted out is the continuance of the HAL airport. Lot of public and HAL itself is for continuation of that airport for some traffic and for some time But the new airport people are opposing that move. It is in a stalemate now.

Will be interesting to see how things shape up. One thing is that real estate has gone up drastically in north blore because of this (we stay in Hebbal area)

Cheers,

Sumathy

hi all,

thanks for the info, Good that we will get little relief frm the traffic if the airport moves from the currnt place. But i heard the new airport is very far away and will take lot of time to reach new airport.

And also abt the Monopoly by the taxi unions and Airport taxes.Anyone has any idea on that?

Cheers
