Airport Partners
BIAL has partnered with leading companies to provide the following services at the airport. The following partners were selected after an extensive technical and financial evaluation:
Aviation Fuel Facility
A consortium consisting of Skytanking and Indian Oil to build and operate the Fuel Farm and Hydrant System of the Airport on a truly open access basis. This implies that any qualified supplier of Aviation Turbine Fuel can supply airlines with, and process its fuel through, the common facility against a non-discriminatory and competitive charge. In October this year, Indian Oil commissioned a 36 km fuel pipeline from Devanagonthi to the Bengaluru International Airport, the first ever in the country. With a current capacity to pump over 156,000 liters of ATF per hour, this pipeline eliminates the need of 80 tankers ferrying precious Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) to the airport. Moreover, the fueling process can now be performed by a single person.
Into-Plane Fuelling Service
Two consortia consisting of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), ST Airport Services Pte Ltd (STARS) and IndianOil Skytanking provides this service at the new airport.
Ground Handling
Consortia of GlobeGround India and Air India / Singapore Air Terminal Services (SATS) are responsible for providing ground handling services and for procuring the ground handling equipment required for operation.
Cargo Facility
Two consortia consisting of SATS / Air India and Bobba Group / Menzies Aviation have built and operate a state-of-the-art general cargo warehouse for both domestic as well as international cargo. The combined area for both warehouses is approximately 15 acres with an initial capacity to handle approximately 350'000 tons of cargo.
