Nobel Day is an opportunity to celebrate excellence. But it rewards the science that fits a comfortable narrative and ignores the science that actually protects society.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
Have any of these people who are demanding HAL to reopen seen the roads which goes upto the entrance of the airport? It could hardly accommodate 100 cars and 2 full flights landing can flood the entire area beyond recognition. The intense traffic gridlock at old airport road during rush hours will add to the already terrible congestion. Planning for a new airport by the Mysore Road is the best way forward.
HAL airport could be used for certain cargo and connectivity within state for small aircraft’s which could reduce traffic at BIAL and benefit HAL airport and locals travelling within the state
Please ask the DCM to tell us how he/his govt intends to resolve attendant traffic problems on the Old Aitport Road? BBMP is yet to complete the project opposite NAL and again near HAL. Both are testimony to bad and inefficient management.
Further, the govt has created bus zones on Outer Ring Road without any consideration to travelling public or private car owners. Public is held to random by errant govt bus drivers and poorly designed bus lanes. Why punish the public for failure to discipline govt bus drivers. Even the late numberbof fly overs on ORR are so poorly constructed that only 60% of utility is met.
Better to leave HAL alone and focus on projects that are limping along!!
At the time when work on second terminal is in full swing, it’s something far fetched to assume that BIAL will agree to this. Who would want to part with the revenue after investing in the second terminal? Instead government should enhance the connectivity to BIAL airport by metro, suburban, dedicated link between city and airport (Indian Railways). It’s the failure of successive governments in not providing this so far when it knew very well that BIAL is airport of the future.
Its becomes very congested if HAL opens and there is no scope to expand. Better to have new airport in MYSORE road which will help Mysore city also grow instead of only congesting bengaluru.

He is right, they must create the connectivity through metro and extend the railway routes
Yesh, .. V need HAL Airport to be operational immediately….
