BLR Airport Issues New Guidelines for Smoother Passenger Pick-ups at Terminal 1
BENGALURU: In a bid to streamline traffic flow and enhance passenger convenience, Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) has issued a comprehensive guide for travelers arriving at Terminal 1. The new advisory outlines specific zones for private vehicles, authorized airport taxis, and app-based aggregators to ensure a seamless exit from the airport.
To assist with the transition, airport authorities have confirmed that shuttles and buggies are readily available to ferry passengers to distant parking lots. Special provisions have also been made for Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRM) to ensure they reach their pick-up points with ease.

Where to Find Your Ride
Depending on your mode of transport, the airport has designated the following pick-up points:
- Friends & Family (Private Vehicles): If you are being picked up by a personal vehicle, head directly to the Private Vehicle Lane at Terminal 1.

- App-Based Cabs (Ola, Uber, etc.): Passengers using ride-hailing apps must proceed to Parking Zones P3 and P4.
