Bengaluru: Where should the 2nd airport be located?

It would have been sensible in the first place had they located the airport between Mysore and Bangalore.

Now if given a choice it is probably more sensible to have the new Airport around the Hosur belt where there is easy access to that STRR and the main Highway to Madras and Salem etc.

Saying that, if they add another Terminal and Runway at KIADB itself it can become a Megaplex.

One more thought is if they can get their act together and create proper development around Hosur and Mysore and Hosakote and Tumkur and Anantapur, then the whole area around can become a Megapod.
