Air India SATS Airport Services Private Limited (AISATS) announced the launch of the AISATS BLR Logistics Park at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport). One of the largest on-airport logistics parks in South India, constructed with an investment of Rs 200 crores, the facility was inaugurated, marking a significant milestone in strengthening India’s logistics and cargo infrastructure.
BLR Airport is the third busiest in India, accounting for 40% of South India’s total air cargo volumes, achieving its highest-ever annual cargo tonnage of 502,480 MT in FY’25 and aims to handle 1 million metric tonnes of cargo by 2030. The launch of the AISATS BLR Logistics Park is a step towards enhancing cargo handling capabilities, improving operational efficiencies, and catering to the rising demand for a faster, seamless, and more sustainable cargo supply chain. Strategically located within the airport premises, the facility will support exporters, importers, freight forwarders, and logistics providers, ensuring efficient cargo movement and consolidation services.
Spread across 8 acres within Bengaluru's fast-growing airport, the AISATS BLR Logistics Park is set to become a key enabler of regional trade. The Logistics Park comprises three distinct buildings serving the cargo community, a modern two-level main warehouse offering more than 240,000 sq. ft of Grade A warehousing space, designed to cater to freight forwarders, express courier operators, and leading logistics players. This main warehouse also includes a common-user general warehouse space tailored for small and medium enterprises, along with cold storage facilities offering pay-per-use access, thereby strengthening inclusivity and competitiveness in the logistics ecosystem. Complementing this is an 11,000 sq. ft public bonded warehouse that allows importers and OEMs to securely store and manage cargo shipments under customs bond. Additionally, the Logistics Park features an office block with 24,000 sq. ft of space dedicated to Customs House Agents, logistics companies, and support services.
AISATS will also provide trucking services to ensure faster, more economical and seamless cargo movement between the Logistics Park and Cargo Terminals at BLR Airport. Sustainability being the key focus, it incorporates several eco-friendly initiatives, including rainwater harvesting systems, tapping of natural lights and energy-efficient LED lighting systems across the facility and waste management based on the Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle principle
