Bangalore’s traffic remains a significant issue for commuters, having grown increasingly chaotic in recent years. Currently, the runway at Bangalore International Airport is also making headlines for this very reason.

A viral video shared by a Karnataka Portfolio X handle captures multiple aircraft lined up in the distance, patiently awaiting their turn to either take off or be parked.
The video was shared with a long yet insightful caption, “Bengaluru is not only famous for its road traffic congestion, but today even the runway at Bengaluru Airport experienced a similar situation. A significant number of aircraft were seen queued up, waiting for their turn to take off, creating a rare ‘traffic jam’ in the airport runway. This unusual sight highlights the increasing air traffic and the bustling activity at Bengaluru Airport, reflecting the city’s rapid growth and its status as a major travel hub.”
A handful of people found humor in the situation. One commenter suggested that the lengthy line of aircraft might be due to the Air Traffic Controller being caught in traffic at Hebbal Flyover as well.
Several comments appeared below the post. One comment read, “It’s not a reflection of rapid growth of Bengaluru but a sign of unsustainable, unplanned growth of Karnataka concentrated in only one region.” Yet another comment read, “Everyone wants to settle in Bangalore, fly in and out of Bangalore, publish reels of weather, nightlife and pub culture of Bangalore and then curse for being lacking in civic amenities. Civil infra takes time and definitely the rate of filling up of the city is way more.”
