Bengaluru Airport’s Terminal 2 Becomes India’s First to be Crowned 5-Star by Skytrax
Tucked away in the heart of India’s Silicon Valley lies a marvel that redefines the way we experience air travel. Not in Delhi. Not in Mumbai. It’s in Bengaluru - and it’s a dream. Kempegowda International Airport’s Terminal 2 has just been crowned India’s first-ever 5-Star Airport Terminal by Skytrax, a leading international air transport rating organization, renowned for evaluating and ranking airlines and airports worldwide based on customer service and quality standards. The 5-Star Airport Rating is a prestigious and distinctive recognition of quality achievement, serving as a global benchmark for airport excellence. It is a premier evaluation system that assesses airports based on their quality standards.Terminal 2 in Kempegowda is not just a terminal, it’s a destination, an experience of luxury before you even board your flight. Inaugurated in late 2022, T2 isn’t just about efficient check-ins or world-class security, it’s about how an airport can feel like an experience of a lifetime! Welcome to the Stunning “Terminal in a Garden”They call it the ‘Terminal in a Garden’, and it’s obvious once you step inside. Imagine walking into a forest that just happens to have planes parked beside it. Vertical gardens, hanging plants and indoor waterfalls enriching the space. There are over 600,000 plants from across India breathing life into this terminal. A 90-meter-wide forest belt envelopes you in green, while the magnificent ‘Tiger Wings’ - a 4,000 square-foot green wall blooming with 15,000 native plants, stands as a living monument to the country’s biodiversity. Crafted with bamboo, granite, and rattan, the architecture flows like nature itself, earthy and timeless.Kempegowda International Airport: Where Sustainability Takes Flight Terminal 2 is not just green in color, it’s green in conscience. Powered entirely by renewable energy, this terminal is a living promise of what modern infrastructure can be. Solar panels power operations, while a brilliant water system captures rain, nourishes the gardens, and cools the environment, lowering the temperature by a few degrees. T2 is one of the few terminals in the world with both LEED and IGBC Platinum ratings. This isn’t just about flying responsibly, it’s about showing that innovation, and environmental care can exist under one soaring roof.More Than Transit - It’s a Journey Within! From the intuitive, paperless Digi Yatra check-in to the enthralling cultural artworks that tell stories of Karnataka’s rich heritage, every detail invites travelers to explore more than their destination, to explore wonder itself. Smart lighting, soft music and curated art make waiting here feel like wandering through a curated garden museum. It’s functional, yes, but it’s also emotional, sensory, and uplifting. With this, Bengaluru has not just outshined other Indian airports, it has set a new vision of what the future of flying can feel like. Hopeful. Harmonious. Humanly.
