BIAL postpones terminal 2 international operations to September 12

It further added that, “We are committed to ensuring a seamless transition for our passengers and will be taking all necessary measures to facilitate a smooth relocation of international operations to the new facility in close coordination with our Airline partners.”

The commencement of international operations in T2 was initially scheduled from the midnight of August 31. Singapore Airlines SQ508 between Singapore and Bengaluru was the first international airline scheduled to land at KIA’s T2 on Thursday at 10:55 am.

However, according to airport authorities due to lack of operational preparedness and with pending civil infrastructure work in T2, BIAL did not get the clearance from the regulatory authorities to go ahead with the launch of international operations in T2. BIAL in a statement on Wednesday said that, “The last-minute decision ( to postpone the international operations in T2) was taken during the final preparedness review in order to provide an optimal and seamless transition for our passengers. International operations will continue to remain in Terminal 1 until further notice.”
