TaiModels has just released their rendition of Kempegowda International Airport (BLR/VOBL) for X-Plane 12, MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024. Located 35km (22mi) from the city, it serves Bengaluru and is the third busiest airport in India, with over 41 million passenger operations in 2024.

Opened in May 2008, replacing the old HAL Airport. Originally, the airport had a single runway, accompanied by a terminal with 8 jetbridges, one double-arm jetbridge, and 9 remote parking stands. In February 2009, the airport was renamed in honour of the founder of the city, Kempe Gowda I. 

The first airport expansion was launched in 2011 and finished two years later. The passenger terminal size has been doubled, with additional check-in desks, immigration, and baggage-reclaim facilities. A single domestic gate and 3 international gates were also added. 

The latest airport expansion was completed in 2021, where the airport received another runway and a second terminal, allowing it to handle between 55 and 60 million passengers annually.

The TaiModels’ rendition of the Kempegowda Intl’ features handcrafted PBR ground textures and markings, detailed terminal interior, accurate airport lighting and custom-made night lighting, optimised performance, tower laser effects, and animated screens and escalators.

The scenery is available for purchase on the iniBuilds store for approximately $21.91, requiring at least 1.82GB of free disk space.
