From Tuesday, T1 will serve as the operational hub for domestic flights operated by Indigo, Akasa Air, Alliance Air, and SpiceJet. BIAL said T2 will be dedicated exclusively to all international flights along with domestic flights operated by AirAsia, Air India, Star Air, and Vistara.

Hari Marar, MD and CEO of BIAL, said T2, with its modern infrastructure, efficient processes and diverse retail and dining options, aimed to “redefine the passenger journey”.

BIAL had originally announced August 31 as the date for shifting international operations to T2 but deferred it a day before the scheduled start. The garden-themed terminal was formally inaugurated in November last year. Spanning 255,661 sq m, T2 is equipped to handle 25 million passengers annually.
