Bengaluru: Air India SATS Airport Services (AISATS) has launched a logistics park at Bengaluru airport aka Kempegowda International Airport with an investment of Rs 200 crore.
The eight-acre facility will accommodate the increasing air cargo volume at this major airport in Karnataka.
Facility Highlights: Warehousing and Customs Support
The AISATS BLR Logistics Park comprises three key structures:
-
A two-level warehouse offering over 240,000 sq. ft of Grade A storage space
-
An 11,000 sq. ft public bonded warehouse
-
A 24,000 sq. ft office block to accommodate customs house agents and logistics firms
The facility is positioned to serve Bengaluru airport, which manages approximately 40 per cent of South India’s air cargo traffic. In FY25, the airport handled 502,480 metric tonnes of cargo. Authorities aim to scale this figure to one million metric tonnes by 2030.
