Attention Travellers! Major flight disruptions expected at Bengaluru Airport this February – Here’s all you need to know – Airlines/Aviation News

Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport will experience significant disruptions this February, coinciding with the biennial Aero India show at the nearby Yelahanka Air Force Station. Both runways will be closed for several hours on key dates, from February 5-8 and 13-14. Specific closure windows include 6-hour periods and afternoon 3-hour blocks, impacting flight schedules.

Disruption to Daily Operations

With an average of 743 daily movements, Bengaluru airport will struggle to accommodate the surge of disruptions, particularly as the number of flights has risen by 5.3% since the last show in 2023. The closures may lead to cancellations and delays, especially for passengers transferring through the airport.

Passenger Impact and Airline Adjustments

Airlines are working to minimise disruptions by adjusting their flight schedules, but passengers should expect delays and potential cancellations. Travelers are advised to keep their contact details up to date with airlines for timely updates and to plan accordingly.

While Bengaluru’s hosting of Aero India at Yelahanka remains crucial due to its large space, the recurring disruption raises questions about potential future venue changes or improvements in coordination to better handle such closures.
