- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Bengaluru's former main airport, 30 minutes from MG Road and Whitefield, remains open to non-scheduled and business flights under HAL/defence control. Access needs prior permission and lead time; customs available for cleared operators (verify). Attractive for city-centre trips when approved.
