Bengaluru International Airport will be named after the city’s founder Kempe Gowda. The Union government has approved a civil aviation ministry proposal to this effect.
Hiriya Kempe Gowda, a ruler during the Vijayanagar empire in the 16th century, administered most parts of Karnataka.
Having built the Bangalore Fort and moved his capital from Yelahanka, he is widely accepted as the founder of Bangalore. The IT capital’s airport would be called Kempe Gowda International Airport after the founder whose 503rd birth anniversary was celebrated this year.
