Biju Patnaik International Airport BBI / VEBS

Named as one of two ground handling service providers at Biju Patnaik International Airport in AERA Order No. 10/2022-23 (ad-hoc tariff determination), which references "the other Ground Handling Service Provider at Bhubaneshwar Airport, namely, Air India Airport Services Limited (AIASL)"; AIASL (formerly Air India Air Transport Services Ltd) operates ramp, passenger, baggage, cargo-handling and cabin-cleaning services nationally under the 'AI Airport Services' brand at 82+ Indian airports, with walk-in recruitment drives documented specifically at Bhubaneswar. Verified independently: AERA order text and AIASL recruitment notices both name Bhubaneshwar explicitly.

Dedicated Bhubaneswar-registered ground handler (CIN U63033OR2021PTC035993, incorporated 24 March 2021, registered office in Odisha under ROC Cuttack; company database listings describe its business as ground ops & handling in transport/logistics) providing ground handling services at Biju Patnaik International Airport; subject to AERA Order No. 10/2022-23 (ad-hoc tariff, 01.07.2022-31.03.2023) and confirmed by a separate AERA filing (SpiceJet submission dated 22 Dec 2023) referencing "consultation paper no. 20/2023-24 dated 01 Dec. 2023" covering Bhubaneswar ground handling tariff; company's own site (indothai.in) lists Bhubaneswar among its nine airports, alongside an airline client roster (SpiceJet, Air Arabia, AirAsia, Akasa, AIX, DrukAir, flynas, Malindo, Neos) consistent with a ground handling business.

Indian Oil Aviation Fuel Station located in the Aerodrome Area at Biju Patnaik International Airport, Bhubaneswar (address: Aerodrome Area, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751020), supplies Jet A-1/ATF for into-plane fuelling; confirmed via a dedicated Google Business listing for "Indian Oil Aviation Fuel Station" showing "Located in: Biju Patnaik International Airport" and the identical toll-free phone number, plus IndianOil's own AFS network references and third-party directories (Justdial lists a distinct "Bhubaneswar Afs Aviation Fuel Station (Indian Oil)" entry).

Wholly owned AAI subsidiary operates the dedicated domestic and international air cargo terminal at BBI with cold storage for agricultural, horticultural and fishery exports from Odisha; combined terminal capacity 26,490 MT confirmed independently via Wikipedia's Biju Patnaik Airport page and a separate GlobalMilitary.net facility profile; international air cargo service to Dubai, Singapore and Bangkok confirmed via World Trade Centers Association and New Indian Express (which describes it as reintroduced/resumed around 31 Jan-1 Feb 2024 after an earlier suspension, at a stated cost of Rs 2 crore). Contact phone/email verified verbatim against AAI's own officer-contact directory listing "Sr.Mgr (Cargo)-AAICLAS" at Bhubaneswar.

Provides aviation security screening, access control and guarding at Biju Patnaik International Airport, per AAI's standard airport-security model where CISF covers all major Indian civil airports; AAI's official Bhubaneswar airport officer-contact directory lists a "Senior Commandant (CISF)" entry with phone ••• (no published email) as item 17 of the officer list. CORRECTION FROM DRAFT: the draft's contact (•••, •••) is misattributed — that directory row is actually "Supervisor (OL)" (an AAI Official-Language/administrative post), not CISF, and has been replaced here with the correct CISF Senior Commandant line. Also removed an unverifiable claim that the CISF office sits "near the cargo terminal" — no source supports that detail. The cited 2025 CISF mandate expansion to cargo/hold-baggage (ILHBSS) screening was a time-bound emergency measure (9-18 May 2025, ~69 airports, prompted by a security alert) rather than a confirmed permanent structural change, so that claim has been dropped from this entry.
