After hitting the floors of the Bangalore international airport you would know there are flights every two minutes that takes you to Delhi provided if your arrival is anywhere between 5 AM and 10 PM. It shouldn't take any longer than 3 hours for you to land at the Indira Gandhi International Airport located at the Western province of India's capital.
Not really as popular as it is now, the Indira Gandhi International Airport was beholden as one of the worst structures one could ever see. Many First timers don't like Indira Gandhi for it being too congested and not-so- sophisticated in offering the necessary for people who touch down there. It is natural for people to feel so, when they're just off from the Bangalore Airport--- standing tall and advanced with a base spread over 71.000 square kilometers and a space which can nearly take in 3000 passengers even at times of chaos and crowd.
There are certain flights which are incredibly popular for which they are flown twice from the Bangalore International Airport.

- 7 Flights Daily to Chennai (Jet Airways)
- 2 Flights Daily to Dubai (Emirates)
- 1 Flight to Frankfurt via the Lufthansa Airlines
- 5 Flights to Mumbai on a Daily Basis by Kingfisher Airlines
- A Machine Flying to Singapore daily through the Singapore Airlines
Bangalore International Airport is one of India's most expected centers for aviation boasting off a good number of flights moving per hour , 27 to be precise. Also, it seems to accommodate a whopping number of 12 million passengers per annum which is a figure that contains an assortment of travelers who are categorized into economy class, budget class, discount class and full-service class of commuters. To the dislike of many business greats who kept hitting the city of Bangalore, which has been a central hub for bio-technology for quite some time, the services of international travel lacked proper shape and structure.
Inception of services struck time in May 2008 following a list of problems especially with the foreign investors, legal regulations related to the construction which in fact has put on hold the work for more than a decade and even some eleventh hour amendments in the structural design---only after some eternal negotiations, and matters of argument. The Local Metropolitan Transport Corporation operates bus transport service to the Bangalore International Airport from 12 different spots scattered all across the city as the airport is located in the outskirts, at a distance of 40 kms from the downtown. Furthermore, a tentative plan to initiate a high-speed railway line is in the air.
