Can you also write an article comparing hyderabad airport and bengaluru airport. i rate hyderabad airport 90% international and Bengaluru 45%. Hyd airport design was approved by TDP government headed by Chandrababu Naidu whereas BLR airport design is approved by SM Krishna led congress government. That makes all the difference.

there is a marked difference. Krishna approved and Gowdas executed it. Belgaluru new airport has been commenced in a great hurry with majority of facilities left unfinished. The agony of passengers is never ending. Transport to city is a day light robbery by the State run transport BMTC charging per passenger Rs.200 on AC and Rs.150 on non-AC. If a family of six members arrive at the airport and want to reach Jeevanbhimanagar near old airport, they have to shell out Rs.1200 instead if they engage a taxi, it will cost them only around 700. The Karnataka government is never public friendly as is our neighbouring states TN and AP. They burden the people with taxes as and when the coffer is emptied by the politicians. A surcharge on petrol @ 50 paise per litre was charged during JH Patel CMship for city infrastructure and till date it is continued but the state of the improvement of Karnataka is pathetic and is known to the entire country. Have anyone seen roads being asphalted during monsoon. This can be seen and happen only in Karnataka. Yeddi should bring back the lost glory of Karnataka and the government should be people friendly. The public transport has to be improved to make public to use the same instead of forcing every public to opt for a two wheeler. Every house in Bangalore has a minimum of two two wheelers. Inspite of the fare in public transport being the costliest in India, the service is pathetic. Till the government is people friendly there are years

One terminal on the average will have 50 to 70 gates, all connected thro areobridges. Thus there is no comparison of other international airports with Hyd and BLR

Truly said. But at the same time, remember our HYD and BLR airports work out of a single terminal. We just read Heathrow and Beijing operations are out of 5 and 3 terminals respectively..... LoL
