BIAL soars towards greater heights

India is on the verge of witnessing a sustained investment in infrastructure build up. The strong population growth in India and its active economy are generating enormous pressures to modernise and expand the country’s infrastructure.
The opening of the Bengaluru International Airport in May this year represented a new start in Indian aviation with regard to the experience of the passenger on the ground.
Despite the challenge of the redesign process taking place after half the construction was complete, the project was well on track and was ready for operation within its deadline of a record 33 months.
The airport takes pride in the fact that today it acts as a key influencer of the city’s changing landscape in multiple ways that are both apparent in terms of the passenger experience as well as to the states economy. Various segments of the airport viz. cargo, airlines, employees and concessionaires are all impacted by the presence of the airport and largely benefiting from its functioning.
The airport today employs over 5000 people proving to be one of the fastest growing employers in the city. Of this number, the airport operator, BIAL itself has employed over 700 employees. Over half of these are locals while the remaining are aviation experts and veterans from across the country.
