HAL Airport

HAL Airport (ICAO: VOBG), also known as Hindustan Airport, is an airport located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Due to its location in the heart of the city, it is the preferred destination for general and business aviation.

The Airport is also used as a testing facility by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and the Indian Armed Forces. It served as the city's domestic and international airport until 24 May 2008, when it was replaced by the new Bengaluru International Airport in Devanahalli. There have since been repeated attempts to restart commercial service at the Airport.

HAL Airport has one runway, 09/27, with a length of 3,307 metres (10,850 ft). There are 4 entry / exit taxiways, 2 on the east side named E2 (perimeter) and E1.

Similarly there are 2 taxiways on the west side - W2 (perimeter) and W1. In addition, there are six aprons.

The passenger terminal was located on the north side of the airport. It contained two jetways and separate sections for domestic and international flights. Despite the rise in passenger traffic, there was no room to expand the terminal, and the apron in front of it could only park six aircraft.
