Air India SATS (AISATS), India’s leading airport services management company, announced the launch of the AISATS BLR Logistics Park at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) on April 22, 2025. This sprawling 8-acre greenfield facility, constructed with an investment of INR 200 crores, is set to redefine the region’s cargo supply-chain efficiency and strengthen India’s logistics and cargo infrastructure.

The Logistics Park features a cluster of three distinct buildings, including a modern two-level main warehouse with Grade A warehousing space, a public bonded warehouse, and an office block for Customs House Agents and logistics companies. AISATS will also provide trucking services to ensure faster and more economical cargo movement. Sustainability is a key focus, with the park incorporating eco-friendly initiatives such as rainwater harvesting and energy-efficient LED lighting.
At the launch event, Nipun Aggarwal, Chairman of AISATS, stated, “The AISATS BLR Logistics Park represents a landmark achievement in India’s vision for infrastructure-led economic growth. This world-class facility will not only enhance regional economic prosperity but also position Bengaluru and Karnataka as key hubs for logistics innovation and trade excellence.
