Bengaluru: The Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), Indian Air Force (IAF) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) are jointly working on resolving possible airspace conflicts when the second runway at the KIA becomes operational.
To keep pace with air traffic growth, the Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) has started work on a second runway at the KIA. Operations from the second runway, located south of the existing one, may impact training at the Air Force Station, Yelahanka.
Transport and helicopter pilots are trained at the Air Force Station. It is one of the most active air bases in the country and also the venue for the biennial Aero India air show.
“Operations on the second KIA runway may impact helicopter flying, which is conducted north of the Air Force Station runway,” sources told Express.
A Joint Working Group (JWG) comprising the IAF, HAL and BIAL representatives has been formed to identify and resolve all airspace conflicts. The issue had been discussed at the JWG meetings earlier.
