Just now, i got a mail relating to New Bangalore Airport.
BIAL will start operation on 23rd May, 2008 at 00:01 hrs. (midnight of 22nd May, 2008)
Consequent to the productive meeting we had with the Ministry of Civil Aviation on Monday, the 12th of May, we received a verbal confirmation for a “silent” opening on the 23rd May 08 from the Ministry yesterday. The Gazette Notification from the Ministry on this is expected in a day or two. Silent opening means that we will open the airport in a full-fledged way (that means for all traffic), but without any ceremony. No dignitaries will be present. A formal ceremony in the presence of State and Central Government will take place in June.
Another highlight is that the Ministry has confirmed that the HAL Airport will not be operational following the opening of our airport, which was also one of the most heart burning issues for us.
