Karnataka’s domestic airports have exhibited a mix of resilience and fluctuating growth with some airports showcasing remarkable increases in passenger traffic while others faced declines. Belagavi and Hubballi emerged as significant hubs for air travel, while others like Kalaburagi and Mysuru experienced declined operations. Newly commissioned Shivamogga airport is showing progress, and upcoming airports in Hassan, Raichur, and Ballari are expected to enhance connectivity.
