It appears a race for India’s next airport is on. While Hyderabad has an opening date of April 2nd, 2008, the new Bangalore International Airport at Devanahalli has just announced their opening will be March 28, 2008. Thus in a time span of only a few days, two major airports will be opening for the first time in the country since the Kochi airport in 1999.

The Bangalore International Airport Limited, the special purpose vehicle created to construct and run the airport by the consortium consisting of Siemens, Larson and Toubro and Zurich Airport, has written to the civil aviation ministry setting March 28 for the inauguration of the Rs 1,930-crore project. It has requested that the prime minister be invited by the ministry to inaugurate the venture.

We’ll see which airport opens first, but my money is still on Hyderabad’s new airport.

The terminal will have three floors: domestic arrivals and baggage handling / claim, international arrivals and domestic and international departures.

Not only will the airport initially attract between five and six million passengers per year but it will also employ upwards of 4,500 staff to run the facility.

The airport facilities will also include a large retail centre, a multi cuisine food court area and an adventure play area / day care facilities for the children of passengers.
