INDIA. The opening of the much-anticipated new Bengaluru International Airport has been moved back to 11 May. It was originally due to open on 30 March.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation requested the move due to delays relating to Air Traffic Control services, said Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).
BIAL said: “We are clearly disappointed with this delay, especially as our employees and all our partners have been working tirelessly to launch Bengaluru International Airport on schedule on 30 March 30. This delay is beyond the control of BIAL.”
To mark the airport’s readiness to open, BIAL will hold an event to showcase the new location on March 28.
Concessionaires at the new Greenfield site airport include Shoppers’ Stop and The Nuance Group in retail; and HMSHost, Café Coffee Day, Radhakrishna Hospitality Services, KaatiZone, Gangotree, Subway and Baskin Robbins in food & beverage.
