New Bangalore Airport
The New Bangalore International Airport opened for operation on 11 May 2008. You may click the logo above to visit the Bangalore International Airport Website.
This Airport is 34km from the heart of Bangalore city, at Muddenahalli, and is close to Devanahalli. The Airport proper is located on the same road that the Brindavan Ashram is located on; it is 30 minutes away from Whitefield.
The Airport will also be connected by a new Hi-Speed Railway. Construction is expected to take three years. There will be three stations on the new route; BRV, Hebbal and Yelahanka. At present there are two routes planned; one to be a fresh set of tracks adjacent the current Cantonment - Yelahanka railway, with divergence at the NH7 point; the other is a whole new route adjacent NH7 for the entire distance. Proposed fares are Rs 200, 150, 50, respectively. The new railway will be constructed by the Delhi Metro Corporation.
The exit from the new airport is currently the extension of Airport Road, that is to say, the same road that the Whitefield Ashram is located upon. If one were to turn RIGHT upon leaving the new airport, Whitefield would be reached in about 35 minutes, maybe less.
The new airport is approximately 7 kilometres from NH7, and will cut travelling time to Puttaparthi.
When International Airline schedules are known, they will be posted here.
