HAL Bangalore Airport
HAL Bangalore Airport , also known as HAL Airport or Hindustan Airport, is an airport located in Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Due to its location in the heart of the city, it is the preferred destination for general and business aviation. The airport is also used as a testing facility by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and the Indian Armed Forces. It served as the city's domestic and international airport until 24 May 2008, when it was replaced by the new Bengaluru International Airport in Devanahalli. There have since been repeated attempts to restart commercial service at the airport.
== History ==
The airport was constructed in 1940 by Walchand Hirachand, founder of Hindustan Aircraft Company (now Hindustan Aeronautics Limited), as an aircraft manufacturing centre. Two years later, the airport was seized by the Royal Air Force to aid in their protection of India from Japan during World War II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History )〕
In 1964 the airport was acquired by newly established Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Airport Services Centre Bangalore: Brief History )〕 Commercial flights, initially only domestic, began in 1980.〔
The first international flights from HAL Airport began in 1997.〔Hollis, Leo (2013). ''Cities are Good for You: The Genius of the Metropolis''. London: Bloomsbury Publishing.
