Singapore Airlines SQ 508 will be the first flight to land at KIA after international flight operations shift to T2 on August 31. It is scheduled to depart from Changi International Airport at 8.50 a.m. and land at KIA at 10.55 a.m. However, BIAL did not specify which would be the first flight to depart from KIA after flight operations moved to T2.
The 2,55,661-sq.m. T2, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 11, 2022, became operational on January 15.
At present, T2 is operating only domestic services, but from August 21 onwards, T2 will be exclusively used for international flight operations. With the shifting of all international flight operations to T2, the old terminal or T1 will cater to only domestic operations.
Officials said immigration counters, customs offices, duty-free shops, retail, and food and beverage outlets have been set up at T2.
