✈️

Kempegowda International

Excellent views of the airport's modern terminal architecture and taxiway systems upon landing.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Deccan Plateau. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight to capture the distinctive silhouette of Nandi Hills.
