The Shivamogga airport will be named after Rashtrakavi Dr KV Puttappa (Kuvempu), a poet and scholar.

The Vjiayapura airport will be named after Sri Jagadjyoti Basaveshwara, a social reformer.

There is also a demand to name the Mangaluru airport after Veera Rani Abbakka, another queen who fought against the Portuguese.
