Direct International Flights from BLR

Air India and Indian Airlines were the only two carriers that were having international flights out of Bangalore until recently.Post 2000,major international airlines started flying directly out of Bangalore to their hubs,opening more doors of opportunities for the city.To the best of my knowledge Lufthansa,Malaysian Airlines,Royal Nepal Airlines were the first few entrants.One no longer had to go to Chennai or Mumbai to get that connecting flight abroad.

It makes me proud to see so many airlines making a beeline for Bangalore..coz there sure are loads of passengers.Lets keep our fingers crossed for the long awaited,much promised,supposed to be world class - Bangalore International Airport @ Devanahalli :)
