Built at a cost of Rs 2 billion by Air India SATS Airport Services Pvt Ltd, the 8-acre facility aims to streamline cargo movement and expand logistics capabilities at the airport. AISATS—a joint venture between Tata Group’s Air India and Singapore-based SATS Ltd—will operate and maintain the park for 15 years under a concession awarded by Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL).
“The facility will strengthen Karnataka’s position as a logistics and trade hub,� said Nipun Aggarwal, Chairman of AISATS. He added that the company will also offer dedicated trucking services to ensure fast and efficient cargo transfers between the park and BLR’s cargo terminals.
AISATS CEO Ramanathan Rajamani said the new facility, equipped with modern infrastructure and technology, is designed to drive local business growth and boost regional connectivity.
Hari Marar, MD & CEO of BIAL, said the project aligns with the airport’s vision of building a future-ready logistics ecosystem that supports both domestic and international trade.

“The logistics park will expand cargo handling capacity and improve efficiency across the supply chain,� Marar said.
