Though the airport is a relief for several passengers in terms of space and facilities, the major complaint is about the road leading to the new airport.
The proposed 6-lane carriage way to the airport at Devanahalli is yet to get underway and passengers complain that in peak hours it is "a never-ending journey".
The staff at Electronic City say they have to travel almost three hours to reach the new airport during peak hours.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Chief Executive, BIOCON, said recently that authorities should keep the second airport open as the new airport alone would not be able to handle the demands of the growth of industries in Bangalore.
