Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing seven prestigious awards at the Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference and Awards held in Ontario, California. This accomplishment marks KIA as the first Indian airport to garner such a high number of accolades at this globally recognized event.
The FAB Awards, which celebrate excellence in airport food, beverage, and hospitality services, recognized KIA in various categories. A standout achievement was the ‘Airport Lounge of the Year’ award for the recently launched 080 Domestic Lounge at Terminal 2. This lounge, which showcases Karnataka’s cultural heritage with a modern touch, provides an exceptional experience for travelers, reflecting the region’s rich history and contemporary comforts.
In addition to the lounge award, KIA received the Humanitarian Award for its collaboration with Mitti Cafe, which has made a significant impact by creating job opportunities for people with disabilities through the establishment of the first Airport Mitti Cafes.
Kenneth Guldbjerg, Chief Commercial Officer of Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), expressed pride in the recognition. “We are immensely proud to be the first Indian airport lounge to receive such prestigious accolades at the FAB Awards. The 080 lounge is more than just a space; it’s a journey through Karnataka’s rich cultural landscape, blending traditional elements with modern comfort,” Guldbjerg stated.
As India’s third busiest airport, KIA has recently announced a passenger advisory in anticipation of increased footfalls due to the upcoming long weekend, including Independence Day. Additionally, the airport has introduced a new official anthem, a unique Kannada-English musical composition by three-time Grammy Award winner Ricky Kej, further enhancing its cultural connection and global presence.
