Comment 1: Everybody is talking about the BIAL opening date, bad connectivity etc. but is something being thought about degree of safety to BIAL for female travellers,single ,young females who travel without fear from the city Hal airport ? Do you all think it's safe for our girls to take a taxi,auto, or even a pre-paid taxi to cover a long distance,bad,uneven roads through deserted villages at odd hours of flight timings? I'm already worried of our girls or female relatives and friends who land or take off from BIAL whenever it begins functioning. I'm now worried about myself and I've already decided that safety comes first for me so, I'm going to travel by train to nearest Chennai then board a flight from Chennai airport. I'm sure there's something thought about the safety and security of female travellers.

Comment 2: Majority of metros like New York, DC or Silicon Valley have at least two or three airports. Multiple airports are necessary not only to create competition among airports but also give options to consumers, depending upon their needs. New airport in Bangalore might be facing a short-term competition from old airport due to pricing, however consumers will choose what is right for them. There will be consumers, who will be ready to pay premium for better service so closing old airport is not necessary.
