3. INTRODUCTION
It is an international airport serving the Indian city of
Bangalore.
Airport type-Public
Owner-BIAL
location : Devanahalli ,Karnataka.
It was opened in 23rd may 2008.
It was the 4th busiest airport in the country.
In 2012, the central government accepted the state
government's proposal to name the airport after
Kempegowda.[18] On 18 July 2013, the Union Cabinet
formally approved the name change.[19]
(IATA: BLR, ICAO: VOBL
5. construction
The airport project started as a public-private joint venture between Germany's
Siemens Project Ventures GmbH, Government of Karnataka and Airports Authority of
India
Construction of the airport began in July 2005, after a decade long postponemen
the airport was expected to be inaugurated on 30 March 2008 but due to delays in air traffic
control (ATC) services, it was finally inaugurated on 23 May 2008 just before midnight when
a Jet Airways flight from Mumbai landed here. Also, minutes later an Indian flight
to Singapore left Bangalore International Airport, making it the first ever take-off from the
airport.
The new airport was originally planned to accommodate 3.5 million passengers a year, but
this was redesigned to handle 12 million passengers per year
6. Terminal building
•
•
•
•
The passenger terminal is a single, fully air conditioned, four-level building capable of
accommodating international and domestic operations. The basement houses the retail
storage, rest areas and services. The arrival and departure areas are separated vertically with a
modern, simple, straight-ahead flow system. The domestic and international departure
lounges, and the majority of the retail outlets are located on level 2 (first floor). The checkin facilities and baggage reclaim are located on level 1 (ground floor). The terminal is designed for
ease of operation and minimum maintenance.
The total floor area is approximately 84,000 m2 (900,000 sq ft) and the terminal building is designed
to accommodate 3,000 passengers at peak hour. The design reflects the best industry practice and
caters for 24-hour-operations, under all weather conditions. The airport well meets the standards
set by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and
the International Air Transport Association (IATA).[4] The airport can handle 11 million people per
annum with 27 aircraft movements per hour and an estimated 550 movements. At its peak, it can
handle 720 aircraft movements in a day.
Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE) enabled check-in counters: 90 and 24 self check in
counters.
The airport has 36 gates, 12 aero-bridges, including three double arm, and 18 remote bus bays.
There are a total of 45 aircraft stands, all of which have a fuelling pit. This is the first time in Indian
airports that the parking stands have the fuelling pits. The underground pits helps the aircraft to
fuel from the stand itself. In the first phase of development, a car park for 2,000 cars in front of the
terminal building at the ground level has been developed for the convenience of passengers and
visitors to the airport.
7. runway
• The airport has one runway that can accommodate all
types of aircraft. There are plans to build a second runway
when the annual traffic of the airport reaches 18 million
passengers per year which is currently estimated to reach
around 2013–2014.
• Runway repair work
• In January 2012, BIAL announced that the airport would
remain fully closed to all flight operations from 11 March
until 3 April 2012 between 10:30 and 17:30 IST (05:00 UTC
to 12:00 UTC) during which the top layer of its only runway
was completely replaced. Following this initial phase, the
runway was partly closed during phases 2 and 3 until 1
May.[23][24]

need to transport jet fuel to the airport.[9]
There are two cargo terminals in the village. One of the terminals is operated by Menzies Aviation
Bobba Pvt Ltd. This terminal has an initial capacity to handle 150,000 metric tons (170,000 short
tons) of cargo. The other terminal is operated by Air India SATS Joint Venture consortium. This
terminal has a two-floor warehouse with a capacity of 200,000 metric tons (220,000 short tons).

12. Expansion plans
•
•
•
•
•
•
On 19 January 2010, BIAL embarked on expansion plan and fast tracked
construction of a new state of the art terminal building.[20]
The first phase of construction of the new terminal is expected to cater to
passenger traffic of about 15 million per year. There are also plans to expand the
new terminal to cater to 36 million passengers per year.[21]
The existing terminal would be expanded to cater to 17 million passengers per
year. Work on the expansion began on 6 June 2011.[8]
The expansion would also increase the number of check-in counters and the
seating capacity at the waiting areas. Once done, Terminal 1 would sport a brand
new look and will be capable of handling the A380 aircraft.[8][22]
To reduce the number of flight delays due to fog it is proposed that the runway will
be upgraded to Category III B standard. This upgrading will be done when the
second runway will be constructed (along with Terminal 2).[citation needed]
After expansion the terminal will have a floor area of 360,000 m2 (3,900,000 sq ft).

20. introduction
• Cochin International
Airport (IATA: COK, ICAO: VOCI) is an
international airport situated in the city
of Kochi, in the state of Kerala, India. Located
at Nedumbassery, about 30 km
(19 mi)[4] northeast of Kochi, it is the busiest and
largest airport in the state ofKerala. For the
financial year 2012-13, it was the fourth busiest
airport in India in international passenger traffic
ferrying 2,919,707 passengers and seventh
busiest in overall passenger traffic carrying
4,880,773 passengers
21. History
•
•
•
The original air facilities in Kochi were an aerodome and airstrip on Willingdon
Island, built in 1936 by the British Residency of Kochi Kingdom, intended for
transporting British officials involved in the development of Cochin Port. The
airstrip was converted into a military airport by the Royal Indian Navy during World
War II. The Royal Navy chose it as a strategic site for their headquarters in
Southern India and as an air station cum landing craft and sea plane base. [7] The
military facility hosted naval fighter planes and was intended to thwart possible
Japanese air raids.[8] A small naval unit set up just two days before the outbreak of
World War II.[9]
After Indian Independence, the Indian Navy operated the airport, though it
permitted civilian aircraft to use the facility. The Gulf economic boom of the 1980s
made it necessary to develop international transportation to Kochi in the interests
of expatriates working in the Middle East.[10]
In October 1990, the Kerala Chamber of Commerce, supported by local
industry, passed a resolution to expand the naval airport to accommodate large
jets and facilitate direct flights to the Middle East. The resolution was rejected by
the Navy for security reasons. A new airport was built near Kochi in 1991 instead.

29. Incidents and accidents
•
•
•
On 25 April 2010, Emirates Flight EK 530, a Boeing 777–200 from Dubai, dropped
around 200 feet (61 m) during heavy turbulence as the aircraft entered a
thick cumulonimbus cloud while on its descent. 20 passengers were injured and
some internal damage was caused to the plane. The aircraft was on descent into
Kochi, roughly between Mumbai and Chennai air spaces when the incident
occurred. There were 350 passengers and 14 crew on board.[66]
On 25 August 2011, a 13-year-old boy was found roaming around the runway area,
raising questions about the security system of the airport.[67]
On 29 August 2011, Gulf Air Flight GF 270, an Airbus 320 from Bahrain, carrying
137 passengers skidded off the runway at 3.55 am during its descent. The reason
for the crash is suspected to be the heavy rain at the time. The aircraft had been
said to have slipped off the runway and landed nose first. The aircraft broke one of
its wings while landing and stalled air traffic for hours. Passengers after the crash,
in chaos, were reported to have jumped from the aircraft through emergency exit
doors even before stairways were brought into place. The crash caused seven
minor injuries and two serious injuries due to the chaos that followed.[68]
