HAL Bangalore International Airport (IATA: BLR, ICAO: VOBG), also known as HAL Airport or Hindustan Airport, is the domestic and international airport serving Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It is the fourth busiest airport in India. It handled an estimated 8.1 million passengers in the year 2006-07 and an average of at least 300 flights (take-offs and landings) per day, earning an estimated Rs 1-1.5 billion in landing and aircraft parking fees from scheduled airlines. The airport is scheduled to be replaced by the new Bangalore International Airport near Devanahalli on March 30, 2008.
The airport is maintained by Hindustan Aeronautics which uses it to test and develop aircraft for the Indian Armed Forces. Manufacturing and overhauling of such aircraft has averaged nearly one per day (on a company-wide, All-India basis) over the 40 year life span of the firm. Thus this activity, per se, may not have posed an insuperable barrier to the rapid growth of civilian air traffic at HAL airport. However, rapid growth of traffic at Bangalore Airport has had some (so far relatively minor) impact on military training flight schedules at the Indian Air Force base of Yelahanka, a scant 17 km away. Bangalore airport gives priority to civilian flight movements.

haha ther are no kannadigas in bangalore who can stand up and be proud of their "bengalooooorruuuuu".... thats because all they want is to run mines in bellary which are officially closed by the govt of india.... and take that money and buy cars like corollas for picking up and dropping their kids at schools... and in the process act like bangalore has everything... locals are illitrate in bangalore... in fact theyre futile in evry possivle sense | ||||
