New Delhi: The problems surrounding Bangalore's new airport do not end for now many people are demanding that the old HAL airport be permitted to remain open as the city requires two airports.
"Definitely Bangalore city needs two airports because it is there in every place. Mumbai and Delhi already have gone for two airports," said lawyer G R Mohan, who filed a PIL against the closure of the HAL airport.
"Since bangalore is an IT city, definitely passenger traffic is on the increase," he said.
Mohan pointed out that when the agreement was signed, around 10 to 11 million people were coming in but now there are more than 11.5 million people and for handling such numbers, two airports are required.
"By the end of 2009, we expect the numbers to increase around 15 to 20 million passengers," Mohan said
