Just out of curiosity, when is the new (BLR) Bangalore airport scheduled to open ?
Plan was:

07 Mar: First Test Flights by Deccan and potentially Kingfisher
28 Mar: Official Opening by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh
30 Mar: First Scheduled Flights

This has now been delayed by approx 30-45 days. There are various reasons available in the papers and different forums - ranging from ATC technical problems via shortage of ATCOs to infrastuctural problems ("oops, we need a road to the airport? should have told us..."). Which reason is true I cannot say.

Hope this anwers your question.
