Kempegowda Intl Airport in Bengaluru bags SKYTRAX award

Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (KIAB) has been awarded as the 'Best Regional Airport in Central Asia' by SKYTRAX World Airport Awards 2015, held in Paris.
The SKYTRAX World Airport Awards is the largest passenger satisfaction survey and the most prestigious among all the surveys measuring airport service excellence and quality, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said in a statement.
The World Airport Awards are based on 13.02 million customer nominations across 112 nationalities of air travellers and include 550 airports worldwide, it said.
Regional Airports refers to airports operating short international and domestic flights, rather than having a vast intercontinental network, the statement added.

BIAL said Bengaluru has seen a significant increase in passenger traffic and growth due to the high-yield business traffic market and the inherent value proposition in catering to the business travellers and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) market.
