Joint Venture Air Cargo Complex at HAL
To further improve the facilities for
the importers and exporters of Karnataka in general
and Bangalore in particular, MSIL entered into a joint
venture with M/s HAL and M/s CONCOR, called JOINT WORKING
GROUP AIR CARGO COMPLEX and put up an additional
Air Cargo Complex inside the Airport in the space provided
by M/s HAL, adjacent to the Airport Tarmac. All air
cargo that will be carried by certain airlines operating
via Bangalore Airport, would be processed at this Air
Cargo Complex. Operations at this new Air Cargo Complex
started from September 2002.
