Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) serves as the primary gateway to India's technology capital, connecting the Deccan Plateau to major domestic and international destinations. This metal print captures that connectivity precisely — drawn from real ADS-B flight tracking data. Every flight path is colorized by altitude, rendered across your chosen palette.

This print visualizes all 856 flights recorded on December 15–16, 2025 — the 6th anniversary of BLR's second runway becoming operational. Printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, it is a piece of aviation wall art that marks the moment this airport's capacity took a defining leap forward.

This page captures ADS-B radar data for Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR/VOBL) across two days, December 15 and 16, 2025, the sixth anniversary of the airport's second runway becoming operational. The dataset covers 856 total flights: 692 departures, 154 arrivals, and 10 touch-and-gos, operated by 325 unique aircraft drawn from 257,979 individual ADS-B position points. Traffic ran continuously, with the first and last recorded flights at 00:00 and 23:59 IST respectively. The busiest hour was 10:00 IST with 53 movements, against an average of 17.8 flights per hour across the full window. Indian-registered aircraft accounted for 264 of the 325 unique aircraft. The remaining fleet included registrations from the UAE, Thailand, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and 14 other countries. Mumbai (BOM/VABB) was the top route by a wide margin at 68 combined movements (56 departures, 12 arrivals), followed by Hyderabad (HYD/VOHS) at 43 and Goa Dabolim (GOI/VOGO) at 19. Cochin (COK/VOCI) and Amravati (VAAM) also each recorded 19 movements. Departures dominated traffic in nearly every hour, with the imbalance most pronounced at 10:00 IST (51 departures, 1 arrival) and 04:00 IST (25 departures, 1 arrival). Approach directions were concentrated from the north and northwest, accounting for 38 and 31 approaches respectively. Departure tracks spread more broadly, with north again leading at 176 before fanning out northeast, northwest, and west. Altitude data spans from ground level to a peak of 45,125 feet, recorded on a departure by German-registered D-AALU covering 1,098.5 nautical miles over 133 minutes. The average observed altitude across all position points was 21,410 feet. The busiest altitude bands were 38,000 to 39,000 feet (14,459 points) and 40,000 to 41,000 feet (11,768 points), with a second concentration between 6,000 and 7,000 feet (11,813 points). The longest flight on record was an arrival by VT-YBF, covering 1,629.3 nautical miles over 205 minutes and reaching 39,025 feet. The shortest was a 6.6 nautical mile, 2.1-minute departure by A7-BFL. Total distance flown across all tracked legs came to 375,534 nautical miles, with an average leg of 438.7 nautical miles and 66.1 minutes.

About the Airport

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru opened on May 24, 2008, replacing the older Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Airport that had served the city for decades. The move to the new facility, located roughly 40 kilometers north of the city center in Devanahalli, gave Bengaluru an airport scaled for the demands of a fast-growing metropolitan economy. A second runway became operational in December 2019, a milestone that meaningfully expanded the airport's capacity to handle simultaneous arrivals and departures.

BLR sits at an elevation of approximately 3,000 feet above mean sea level — among the higher-elevation commercial airports in India. That geography shapes its operations in subtle but consistent ways, influencing aircraft performance on climb-out and approach. The airport functions as a significant hub for South India, with IndiGo, Air India, and several international carriers operating regular services. It connects Bengaluru to destinations across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and major European cities, in addition to an extensive domestic network.

The surrounding region anchors BLR's identity. Bengaluru is home to a concentration of technology companies, research institutions, and aerospace firms that generate substantial business travel demand. That demand makes the airport's traffic profile distinctive — a high proportion of frequent flyers on tight schedules. The terminal infrastructure has undergone phased expansion since opening, and a second terminal has been under development to accommodate continued growth. For a city that transformed its economic identity over a single generation, the airport is a working measure of that transformation.
