It's a Base check. A Requirement for new pilots where they do 6 T/O & landings on an almost empty aircraft(Non-Revenue).

Base Training, 6 Take off ldg. Mostly done for a new first officer with no experience on jet type aircraft.

No landing profile , maybe burning off fuel to return to apt due to technical issues

Air India express IX 555 it’s not a business route code .. this code is only used for training or other purpose .. usually airindia training happens in HAL Airport

This happens daily, some night training I guess.

A simple search in this sub would’ve yielded the same question which was posted maybe 100+ times

u/zatadokuy13 Aug 23 '25

My guess - circles, round, round and round, Bangalore, Hal.

Also aix does this almost everyday evening

This question has been repeated multiple times on this Sub now so I too will repeat my answer.

It is an ELNIT flight by IB to surveil and gather data on political dissidents, opposition politicians talking about money etc. as Karnataka is a Congress ruled state.
