Bangalore has been one of the most neglected metros in India. Bangalore is known as the garden city, Silicon Valley of India and very soon the biotech hub of India. We had to wait for decades to get an international airport.
The airport is about 34 Km from Bangalore [Vidhan Soudha].
To make the commute smooth, NH-6 and NH-7 [Bangalore-Hyd] are being converted into a six-lane road. NHA has acquired the required land. Additional access roads which will run into Bellary Road are being planned. The existing roads through Hoskote and Hebbal will be upgraded to a four-lane expressway, meeting the airport road. See flyover details.
Overbridges will be built at all railway crossings on Bellary Road. The government is confident of completing the project by 2003; the deadline is Jan 2004. The government signed an MoU with Malaysian company Ara Corp to build the expressway.
On July 17, 2013, the Govt of India approved the name change of Bangalore Airport to Kempe Gowda International Airport.
Hubli Airport
The Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation has decided to name the Hubli airport after Hindustani vocalist Dr Gangubai Hangal in recognition of her contribution to music. This decision was made on March 25, 2005, in Hubli.
