History

Bangalore's main airport till 2008 was the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited(HAL) airport, which was built in 1942. The HAL airport was used by the British Royal Navy to protect India from Japan during World War II.

The Bangalore International Airport was inaugurated in May 2008. The HAL airport was closed down immediately.

In 2009 the State Government sent a proposal to the Union Government to rename the airport. This proposal got accepted in 2013 and the name of the airport was changed to Kempegowda International Airport.

It was renamed Kempegowda International Airport after the founder of Bangalore, Kempe Gowda.
