Kempegowda International Airport, International airport in Devanahalli, India.
Kempegowda International Airport is an airport in Devanahalli, India, serving passengers from Karnataka state. The facility extends over more than 1,600 hectares and features two separate terminals for domestic and international connections.
Planning for a new airport began in 1991 to replace the congested HAL Airport. The facility opened for air traffic in May 2008 and has served the growing Bangalore region since then.
The terminal displays local artwork and sculptures from Karnataka that give travelers a first impression of regional culture. Public areas often feature traditional music performances and exhibitions about regional crafts.
The terminal is spread across several levels and offers lounges, restaurants, and shopping options for travelers. It is best to allow enough time for check-in and security procedures, especially during early morning or evening hours.
The entire facility is powered by solar energy and is considered the first solar-powered airport terminal in Karnataka. The shift to renewable energy was achieved through a partnership with CleanMax Solar and significantly reduces carbon emissions.
