BANGALORE: The date of the opening of the Bangalore International Airport may yet be undecided, but one thing is certain: Mail sent to the distant airport will reach without any delay.

The airport has been assigned a unique Postal Index Number (PIN) code — 560 300 — by the Karnataka Postal Circle of India Post. “This is part of our initiative to enhance our services. We provide unique PIN codes to institutions and offices that receive more than 200 posts a day,” Principal Chief Postmaster-General Meera Datta told The Hindu here on Wednesday. When an office is assigned a dedicated PIN code, mail addressed to it will go to its premises.
