About
Bengalooru Flight
Bangalore
Airport (BLR) is a domestic airport that caters to certain
international flights too.
International Flights
Bangalore has direct flights to many major European and Asian
destinations. Notable international flights are from Frankfurt on
Lufthansa, from Singapore on Singapore Airlines and JetStar Asia, from
Kuala Lumpur (KL) on Malaysian Airlines, from London on British
Airways, from Dubai on Emirates, from Paris on Air France and from
Bangkok on Thai Airways. Due to aircraft timing and airport capacity
constraints, many international flights arrive and depart in the dead
of night. For example, British Airways, Lufthansa, JetStar Asia,
Emirates and Air France all schedule thier flights to arrive and depart
between 1am and 4am. Fortunately, the airport knows and expects this,
so it is in full operation 24 hours a day. You won't have any more
trouble changing money or finding a taxi at 4am than you would at 4pm.
A new international airport is under construction at Devanahalli, 30 km
(19 mi) north of downtown Bangalore. The airport's first flight will
take off in April 2008. It will cater to 11 million passengers in Phase
1. Its final capacity is estimated to be 40 million passengers.
