Bengaluru, India, is moving closer to establishing its second international airport, with strong indications that it will be located in the southern part of the city. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar confirmed that sites along Kanakapura Road, specifically Chudahalli and Somanahalli, are leading candidates for the project. A feasibility study has been commissioned to evaluate these locations, which will consider various factors such as technical aspects, connectivity, and environmental impact. The study, costing ₹4.96 crore (approximately $600,000 USD), is expected to take five months to complete. As Bengaluru's population exceeds 1.3 crore (13 million) and traffic surges, the need for a second airport becomes critical to alleviate pressure on the existing Kempegowda International Airport. Additionally, regional competition from Tamil Nadu's planned airport in Hosur highlights the urgency of this project. The final decision will hinge on the feasibility report, with the potential to reshape Bengaluru's connectivity and economic landscape for years to come.
