Bangalore, July 12 Bangalore International Airport Ltd may start advancing its expansion plans, including a second runway and bigger terminal.

This has been forced by the unimaginably high growth in passenger traffic. The airport, due to launch commercial flights in April 2008, will start off with 10 million passengers. The HAL airport now handles over 8 million.

“Our passenger forecast is two-years-old. The present runway can suffice for the first two years. We would need the second runway with 17-18 million passengers. We have realised that now. Immediately after opening the airport, we will go in for expansion,” BIAL CEO, Mr Albert Brunner, said here on Thursday.
