I'll estimate the daily passenger traffic through security at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR). BLR has two terminals, handling both domestic and international flights, and I'll focus solely on passengers, excluding airport staff.
Assumptions:
- Passenger Volume: Let's assume an average of 100,000 passengers per day across both terminals. This is a rough estimate, acknowledging that peak seasons and holidays will see higher numbers, while off-peak times will be lower.
- Security Checkpoint Usage: Assume that the vast majority of passengers, including those with connecting flights, pass through a security checkpoint at least once.
Calculation:
- Daily passengers = 100,000
- Percentage passing through security = 95% (accounting for a small number of exceptions like infants or those with specific exemptions)
Estimated Daily Security Scans: 100,000 passengers * 0.95 = 95,000
This figure represents the estimated number of individual passenger security scans per day at BLR.
