About This Airport
Trainee pilots, not freighters, own the circuit at Jakkur Aerodrome in northern Bengaluru. The field has hosted the Government Flying Training School since the late 1940s, making it one of India's oldest flying schools, and today it handles training aircraft, helicopters and the occasional airshow balloon. There are no scheduled passenger services, no cargo flights, no freight terminal, no customs facilities and no IATA code. Forwarders should plan all air freight for the region via Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), roughly 20 kilometres further north along the NH44 axis, which moved about 532,000 tonnes in financial year 2025-26, six percent more than the year before, across 15 cargo airlines and 38 destinations including Chicago, Singapore, London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. BLR has also ranked as India's leading gateway for perishable exports for five consecutive years, alongside pharma, auto parts, electronics and e-commerce traffic. The aerodrome's short runway holding out amid Bengaluru's booming tech corridor is a small curiosity in itself.
