Bengaluru SkyUpdates

🚨Kempegowda International Airport @BLRAirport #Bangalore leads in India with the most domestic destinations, offering 72 routes—and it's set to increase further in the coming months 😍 Not far behind is DEL with 71 domestic destination✈️ #BLR #BLRAirport

🚨In Jan 2026, @BLRAirport - #London #Heathrow numbers have crossed 50K+ in a single month. This is the first time the numbers have crossed over 50 thousand in a single month. Thanks to @VirginAtlantic 2nd frequency.

@thanveerbk @BLRAirport @SaudiAirlinesEn Just like any other airline at BLR, even Saudia wants a piece of High-yielding EU, U.S pax to transit via JED, hence the midnight flights. They wanted even more slots, from what i am aware, but couldn't secure them at BLR as of now.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @BLRAirport The current timings are good, but the new timings are not. I hope @SaudiAirlinesEn and @BLRAirport coordinate and rectify these changes.

🚨 Saudia to increase freq on #Jeddah route to 7x weekly from 4x weekly now eff. 3rd July 2026 ✈️ SV814: #JED 1730 – 0150+1 #BLR SV815 #BLR 0330 – 0640 #JED new red-eye flight. The airline holds slots for 8 weekly flights at @BLRAirport. #BLRAirport #Aviation

@circuitbull @BLRAirport Could be because of the fleet constraints for them as of now. They are adding flights only because of high demand in the first place.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @BLRAirport 8 slots secured, 7 operated. Classic capacity discipline. Test demand first, then scale. Smart yield management approach.

@varunkrish The flight wasn't doing well. They stopped the service within 2-3 months.

Saudia operated 3x weekly from Chennai to Jeddah until recently and it was cancelled :/

@AviationAll_ @NikhilS93391469 It does operate on alternate days except Fri.

@NikhilS93391469 @AeroUpdatesBLR Looks like it.

Starting 3rd July 2026, Saudia will Increase Operations between Bengaluru & Jeddah to 7x Weekly from 4x Weekly 🇮🇳🇸🇦 Timings 👇 JED - BLR / 1730 - 0150 / SV814 BLR - JED / 0330 - 0640 / SV815 // A330, 3x Weekly Subject to Schedule via @AeroUpdatesBLR

@AnarghyaSu78830 @AviationAll_ @TIAG747 Charter.

Anyone knows why a Garuda Indonesia flight is flying to BLR from Macau?

@purneathecity @AkasaAir @BLRAirport IX was supposed to start the flights, but not sure what happened lately.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @AkasaAir @BLRAirport Any update about BLR-PXN

🚨@AkasaAir begins daily flights to #Darbhanga eff 6th Apr 2026 - one of @BLRAirport's largest unserved route. That is the benefit of multiple hub airlines. #IndiGo never showed interest, and #SpiceJet has been unreliable. #Akasa will serve it now✈️📈 #BLR #BLRAirport #NewRoute

@imRV15 @AkasaAir @BLRAirport @IndiGo6E I think IX will do it next. 6E is an unpredictable airline. They can jump-in anytime.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @AkasaAir @BLRAirport Agreed, Spicejet ruined this route with their inconsistent service. Glad that @AkasaAir has finally recognised its true potential. One flight won’t be enough for this route, @IndiGo6E should consider another flight between DBR-BLR.

South Cities Air Dash! Hyderabad edged Kochi with 0.52 million international passengers in Jan-2026. Kochi posted 0.51 million. Chennai scored 0.58 million. Bengaluru topped at 0.70 million, per Airports Authority of India data. #GlobalIndians #IndianDiaspora #IndiaAviation

@NikhilS93391469 @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport 5-6 easily. Hopefully, British Airways will expand. They do have plans; it's just a matter of when, as LHR slots are highly constraint.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport How many daily flifhts to the uk can blr sustain? 5

🚨 @VirginAtlantic will likely permanently increase #BLR-#London flights to 11x weekly eff 1st September 2026. The airline seems to be doing well right now. This shows how important @BLRAirport is as a market for the airlines. #BLRAirport #Aviation #New #Flights #virginatlantic

@NeelavBarman @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport Will happen in the meantime. They are constraint of airframes right now. SFO had to be stopped as non-stop flights were not possible with current airspace conditions.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport Wish our own home flag carrier understand those and relaunch SFO, along with More EU Destinations

@NikhilS93391469 @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport Not just America, even Europe TBF.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport Shows the demand for flights to America tbh

@sandeeprrao1991 @VarunRamS1 @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport @British_Airways Announced in late 2019 AFAIR. But it never happened due to covid-19 🫠

@VarunRamS1 @sandeeprrao1991 @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport @British_Airways It was in 2019. They do have plans for expansion. Let's see if VS expansion will trigger them.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @sandeeprrao1991 @VirginAtlantic @BLRAirport Somewhere in 2019 or 2020, wasn't @British_Airways planning something similar? 10x weekly or something. That new service would arrive in BLR in the evening, be parked overnight and depart next day. Recall reading something like this back then.

📸 Stats done by a friend!!

🚨 In 2025, BLR–EU traffic reached 1.16 million+ passengers. For perspective, the #BLR–LHR route alone carried more flyers than the entire HYD–EU market this year. #Europe is a huge market for @BLRAirport. Hopefully more capacity soon. ✈️ #BLRAirport #Aviation #AirTraffic

@meavinash6262 @grok Max for this FY is 44.5-45M pax. 46-47 were initial estimates, but 2025 post-May was very slow in terms of growth.

@AeroUpdatesBLR @grok give me statistics of passengers handled by Bengaluru International airport starting Fiscal year 2025-26 , April 1 2025 till date , also what would be closing passenger projection by the end of fiscal year ,March 31 2026.

🚨 @BLRAirport handled 4 million passengers for the first time. In the month of Jan, the airport catered to 4,031,581 travellers. Of these 3,332,751 were Domestic and 698,830 were INTL travellers. #BLRAirport #BLR #Aviation
