Bengaluru International Airport

All UK to Bangalore flights, will arrive at
the new Bengaluru International Airport (BLR) which opened
for business in May 2008. The airport is located at Devanahalli
which is 40km (25 miles) from the city. A high speed rail
link is planned but will not be in operation before March
2010. Meanwhile Taxis, hire cars and buses are the options
for transfer to the city centre. As with all locations within
India we do not recommend that tourists or visitors hire self-drive
cars although these are available from the airport. Two types
of bus operate from the airport, Volvo buses with air conditioning
and a non air-conditioned cheaper alternative. Unless you
are on a very tight budget we would advise that you choose
the Volvo. Note that due to the heavy congestion it can take
up to 3 hours to travel between the city and the airport at
peak times.
The international departure section of the
airport will eventually house one of the largest duty free
outlets in India. The arrival duty free outlet will offer
liquor and tobacco, perfumes and cosmetics, electronics outlets
and accessories. The arrival duty free has been designed with
the increasing security regulations in mind. We are not able
to say at the moment when work on these facilities will be
completed.
