Bring back domestic Airport to HAL

shuvan.saha - 9-MAR-2009

Lets bring back the Domestic Airport to HAL. For domestic travel where a air time can be of max 3-4 hrs, the passengers have to travel for 2-3 hrs. This is ridiculous. The Airport is such an important part, it should be accessible at ease.

HAL with higher landing charges/airport taxes than BIAL ??

jammy97 - 29-OCT-2008

I am not aware of the landing charges / taxes etc that was levied in HAL and now in BIAL. HAL is closer to most parts of the city. People want the HAL reopened (atleast for short haul flights).
