Is there that much traffic to BLR, even business, doubt there is much VFR either. Long time ago (more than 20 yrs ago), QF used to fly to BOM.

BLR can take in traffic from the entire south and west if it wants to using Indigo Code share with QF _________________ http://airliners1.com Visit my photostream @flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/26842543@N07/ Back to top justbala Member Joined: 11 Jan 2007 Posts: 1898 Location: Bangalore Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2022 7:24 pm    Post subject: iah87 wrote: This is somewhat surprising.

A lot of Aussie firms have their ODCs in Bangalore - the likes of ANZ, CBA etc. So there is quite a bit of business travel between Blore and Australia In addition, given their timings and the 6E codeshare, this becomes a very convenient option for folks from South of the Vindhyas to travel down under.
