Kempegowda International Airport

Kempegowda International Airport (VOBL) is a large airport in Bangalore, KA, India. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VOBL or IATA code BLR. It sits in Asia.

Kempegowda International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Kempegowda International Airport lies at 3,000 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Asia/Kolkata. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 1 departing and 0 arriving private-jet legs at VOBL across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
