Star Air will operate the first flight from terminal 2 and the plane will take off to Karnataka’s Kalaburgi from Bengaluru, according to media reports.
Other domestic airlines such as Vistara, and Air Asia will also begin operating from terminal 2 soon.
International operations are expected to commence in April from the terminal.
A five-lane way is also being made ready for smoother vehicle arrivals and departures for pick up and drop of passengers at the airport.
Terminal 2 is said to be an eco-friendly facility constructed at an estimated ₹5,000 crore largely using bamboo.
In November 2022, PM Modi inaugurated the glitzy Terminal-2 of the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
Based on the sustainability initiatives, Terminal-2 will be the largest terminal in the world to be pre-certified platinum rating by US GBC (green building council) prior to commencing operations, as per the airport authority.
Terminal 2 will be able to handle around 5-6 crore passengers from the current capacity of 2.5 crore annually.
