Devanahalli to Bangalore Airport Distance, Route & Travel Time

The distance from Devanahalli to Bangalore Airport (Kempegowda International Airport) is about 15 to 20 kilometers. The most commonly taken route is via NH 44 (Bellary Road) and the Airport Road. It usually takes 15 to 25 minutes by car in normal traffic.

Travel time can rise during peak hours or festival seasons. For residents in KIADB Phase 2 and nearby layouts, the drive typically takes around 15 minutes via the STRR and NH 44 corridor. A direct BMTC bus also links Devanahalli New Bus Station to the airport in about 26 minutes.

The area is home to several housing options like Prestige Parklane, sitting inside this same fast-growing airport belt. It is in the Haraluru and Muddenahalli part of Devanahalli taluk, close to KIADB Aerospace Park Phase 2.

Residential phases cover 11.91 acres of the site, and overall the site is set on 32.26 acres. Its short drive to the airport, and to firms like Boeing and Airbus nearby, sets it apart from most other new addresses in North Bengaluru.

Other Roads That Link Devanahalli to Bangalore Airport

NH-44 is the fastest and most used road between Devanahalli and the airport. A second option runs via the airport perimeter road, past Vidya Nagar and Sadahalli Gate. This route suits drivers coming from the KIADB Aerospace Park side of town.

A third path uses the upcoming Satellite Town Ring Road, or STRR, once full sections open to traffic. The STRR will link Devanahalli with Doddaballapur, Hoskote, and other satellite towns around Bengaluru.

For now, most cabs, buses, and shuttle vans stick to the NH-44 route, since it stays free of tight turns. Travel time on this road rarely crosses 20 minutes, even during busy office hours.

Metro's Route Near Devanahalli: Blue Line Phase 2B

The Namma Metro Blue Line will introduce rail transit on this route for the very first time. The total length of this line is 58.19 km, which covers 29 stations in all. Phase 2B alone includes 16 new stations on the route that lies above Hebbal.

Trains on this branch will pass through Kodigehalli, Bettahalasuru, Doddajala, and Airport City in sequence. From there, the line reaches KIAL Terminals station, built right inside the airport grounds. Riders headed toward Devanahalli or nearby KIADB pockets can get off at Doddajala or Airport City.

Both stops sit within a short cab ride of most housing projects in the belt. BMRCL expects trains to start running on this stretch by mid to late 2027. Full links to the Central Silk Board, on the other end of the line, should follow by early 2028.

BMTC Vayu Vajra KIA buses are air-conditioned Volvo coaches that link many parts of Bengaluru to the airport. Most KIA routes start from Majestic, Electronic City, Whitefield, and HSR before moving towards Hebbal.

They run on the NH 44 route that also serves as the entry point for Devanahalli.

• BMTC route 298-AP runs between Kempegowda International Airport and Vijayapura Bus Stand. This bus passes through the Devanahalli area on its way to the airport. It is one of the more direct bus links that connect Devanahalli town and nearby layouts to the airport without many changes.
• The Local BMTC routes to Devanahalli Bus Stand are routes such as 296-M, 296-MA, 298-M, and 298-B. All these buses will connect the Old Devanahalli Bus Stand and New Devanahalli Bus Stand with Majestic, Hebbal, and Yelahanka. At these places, passengers will be able to board a Vayu Vajra KIA bus to the airport.

The latest schedule and boarding points for these buses from Devanahalli can be found at the official BMTC site or through the Namma Vayu Vajra app. Moovit, a transit app, also provides all schedules and boarding points for these bus services.

Existing Rail Link to the Airport

Devanahalli already has a small rail link to the airport, built well before the metro plan. A halt station named KIA Halt sits just 3.5 km from the airport terminal. South Western Railway runs a few daily MEMU trains from KSR Bengaluru through Devanahalli to this halt.

Ticket fares on this route stay as low as Rs 10 to Rs 15 per trip. A larger suburban rail line, called the Sampige line, is also in the works. Once built, it will add a dedicated branch straight from Yelahanka to the airport gate.

How Airport and Metro Links Are Shaping the Devanahalli Property Market

Real estate values tend to be affected by transit news well in advance of rails ever rolling. The trend is visible already in and around Devanahalli and other pockets of KIADB. Land and apartment rates around proposed Blue Line stations have risen every year since 2023.

Brokers report gains of 15% to 25% in some pockets close to the airport belt. Projects like Prestige Parklane stand to gain from this shift in a direct way. Its spot near both the airport road and two future metro stops adds long-term value.

Buyers see this as a bet on future ease of travel, not just current access. Rents are also expected to increase once the trains begin running on this line, as demand will increase. Aerospace, IT, and airport staff members often prefer to live in homes with short, easy commutes nearby.

Once rail and metro links go fully live, average commute times should fall sharply. A 30-minute road trip today could take half that time once trains are running.

This shift tends to push both rent and resale prices higher over a few years. Buyers who enter at the pre-launch stage hope to gain from this rise early.
