Old Airport Road is a major road in Bangalore. It was renamed from Airport Road after the new Bengaluru International Airport was opened. It begins from the junction of Trinity Church Road and Victoria Road and goes to HAL Bangalore International Airport. Beyond that, the road officially becomes Varthur Road, but ever since the real estate boom started around 2003, builders have started calling the stretch between the Airport and the Marathahalli Outer Ring Road as Airport Road. Even so, due to the high significance of this road it has achieved due to its high accessibility for reaching Whitefield.
