Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: Ten months ahead of the formal launch of the new international airport in Devanahalli, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has inked the key agreements with service providers.

The partners were selected after an extensive technical and financial evaluation, according to BIAL CEO Albert Brunner.

On the Aviation Fuel Facility front, a consortium of Skytanking and IndianOil will build and operate the Fuel Farm and Hydrant System of the airport on an open access basis.

This means that any qualified supplier of aviation turbine fuel could supply airlines with, and process its fuel through the common facility against a non-discriminatory and competitive charge.

For Ground Handling, a consortium of GlobeGround India and Air-India/Singapore Air Terminal Services (SATS) will provide the services and procure the ground-handling equipment required for operation at the new airport.

BIAL inked another deal on Cargo Facility with two consortia consisting of SATS/Air-India and Bobba Group/Menzies Aviation to build and operate a state-of-the-art general cargo warehouse for both domestic and international cargo.

The combined area for both warehouses is about 15 acres, with an initial capacity to handle approximately three lakh tonnes of cargo.
