According to the senior official representing Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), the lounges at the Bangalore airport are world-class and these establish a strong dedication and connection to the city. Apart from its name, various design elements such as inclusion of artisans, heritage, art, and flora reflect the diverse and rich culture of Bangalore.
