BENGALURU: Passengers at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) will now find information on the status of their flights in Kannada, thanks to KIA's decision to use the local language along with English on its display boards.

The move comes after Dinesh Gundu Rao , president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee , wrote to the airport authorities , urging them to display status of flights in Kannada.

"S everal passengers using the airport can't read English, and face great inconvenience when it comes to understanding flight status (arrivals and departures)," said Rao. "I wrote to the KIA authorities in December, asking them to display these information in Kannada as well. I'm glad they have considered the inconvenience caused to passengers," he added.
