After a decade-long postponement, a prestigious airport has been built in India in just 33 months. Siemens provided the new airport with airport-specific equipment as well as with safety and security technology and power supply and distribution – and played its part for the timely completion of the project. 

Bengaluru (also known as ‘Bangalore'1) International Airport was constructed on what was formally a red-clay wasteland.  Following the first landing on 23 May 2008 - a Jet Airways flight from Mumbai - and minutes later the airport's first ever take-off, within 24 hours Bengaluru International Airport had handled an incredible 341 flights.
