AISATS sets up Rs 200-crore logistics park at Bengaluru airport, eyes long-term stability amid US-China trade war uncertainties

The launch of AISATS BLR Logistics Park aims to enhance cargo handling capabilities, improve operational efficiencies, and cater to the rising demand for faster, seamless, and more sustainable cargo supply chains. Strategically located within the airport premises, the facility will play a key role in supporting exporters, importers, freight forwarders, and logistics providers, ensuring efficient cargo movement and consolidation services.

The company looks to cash in on Bengaluru airport’s potential aviation infrastructure that accounts for 40 per cent of South India’s total air cargo volumes, achieving its highest-ever annual cargo tonnage of 502,480 metric tonnes in FY’25 and aims to handle 1 million metric tonnes of cargo by 2030.

Spread across 8 acres within BLR Airport, the Logistics Park is a cluster of three distinct buildings to serve the cargo community. A modern two-level main warehouse offering more than 2,40,000 sq ft of Grade A warehousing space, designed to serve the freight forwarders, express courier operators and leading logistics players. The warehouse also includes a common-user general warehouse space to cater for small and medium enterprises and cold storage warehouse space for pay-per-use access, strengthening inclusivity and competitiveness in the logistics ecosystem.

To complement this, an 11,000 sq ft public bonded warehouse allows importers and OEMs to securely store and manage their cargo shipments under Customs bond. The Logistics Park also offers an office block with 24,000 sq ft of space for Customs House Agents, logistics companies and support services.

AISATS will also provide trucking services to ensure faster, economical and seamless cargo movement between the logistics park and cargo terminals at the Bengaluru airport.
