Commuters who run out of fuel at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) do not have to make the 8-km run to the toll gate as a new fuel station near the Trumpet flyover will cut the distance by half.
Indian Oil has started trial operation of the station owned and operated by the company on the KIA premises, about 4 km from the airport’s parking lot. The new facility is located near the roundabout closest to Trumpet junction.
An IOC spokesperson said the fuel station will be of help to not only the growing traffic to the airport but also to about 20,000 workforce. Till now, the nearest station for refuelling petrol or diesel vehicle was located about 8 km from the airport near the toll gate on Ballari Road with the alternative station on the Devanahalli situated about 10 km away.
