The airport will be able to handle more than five-six crore passengers annually compared to its current capacity of 2.5 crore.

Terminal 2 is designed as a tribute to the garden city of Bangaluru and the passenger experience is meant to be a “walk in the garden”, the officials said.

Passengers will travel through more than 10,000 square metres of green walls, hanging gardens and outdoor gardens, they said, adding that these gardens have been made in India using indigenous technology.
