Bus Branding in Jakkur
Jakkur is a developing locality in North Bengaluru, set off Bellary Road between Hebbal and Yelahanka on the airport corridor. It is known for the Jakkur Aerodrome, the only dedicated general aviation airfield in the city and home to the state flying training school, and for the large Jakkur Lake. Around these, newer gated communities and premium layouts have grown, giving the area an emerging upmarket residential character on the airport side. This page lays out what sits inside Jakkur, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
We hold exclusive partnership rights for bus branding across Bengaluru and the whole of Karnataka, so your Jakkur campaign runs through one accountable partner from planning to proof of display.
Jakkur at a Glance
- Jakkur sits in North Bengaluru off Bellary Road, between Hebbal and Yelahanka, on the corridor that runs toward the airport.
