Indian airports have yet again made their mark as the Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru has bagged the Skytrax World Airport Award 2021 for the best airport staff in India and central Asia. The award was a result of the collaborative efforts from the members and staff that made the ecosystem and the services of the airport stand out.
In a press release issued on Saturday, Hari Marar, CEO and MD, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), said, “A big applause goes to our passengers who appreciated our work and voted for us to become the receiver of the award. This is truly a fabulous award for everybody working at the BLR airport ecosystem."
“The award holds particular significance as it comes in the light of the COVID-19 challenges that hit the aviation industry pretty hard. It adds further impetus to our pursuit of excellence," he added in the statement.
