BIAL took this initiative to bring the Bengaluru International Airport closer to its customers and help them plan ahead for the best airport experience. Convenience and choice are key imperatives for busy business travellers and the app is aimed to give them just that, said G V Sanjay Reddy, Managing Director, BIAL.
