The airport advised passengers to check with their respective airlines for updated flight schedules. The revised airspace closure timings are as follows:

  • February 5, 6, and 8: 9 am to 12 noon and 3 pm to 4.30 pm
  • February 7 and 9: 9 am to 11 am
  • February 7 (additional closure): 3 pm to 4.30 pm

Meat Shops Banned Near Yelahanka Air Force Station

In addition to the airspace restrictions, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has taken another precautionary measure to safeguard air traffic during the Aero India show. The BBMP has announced a temporary ban on meat, chicken, and fish stalls, as well as non-vegetarian hotels and restaurants within a 13-kilometer radius of the Yelahanka Air Force Station.

This measure is aimed at reducing the presence of scavenger birds, particularly kites, which could pose a significant risk of mid-air accidents during the event. The presence of scavenger birds near the airfield has been a concern, and the closure of meat-related businesses is seen as a step to minimize this risk.

Impact on Daily Life and Travel

With the airspace closures, flight disruptions are expected, and passengers flying in and out of Bengaluru between February 5 and 14 should prepare for possible delays. The meat stall bans may also inconvenience residents and businesses in the area, but these measures are being enforced to ensure the safety and smooth operation of the Aero India show.

Event-goers and travelers are urged to stay updated on flight schedules and local restrictions to avoid any last-minute surprises. The Aero India 2025 event promises to be a major highlight for aviation enthusiasts, and these temporary disruptions are considered necessary to ensure the safety of both the event participants and the general public.
