Services

Available On request / PPR Seasonal / ageing Unconfirmed / not listed
Ground handling Available · 2 providers
Goldair Handling India (Nagpur) Private Limited
Ramp, passenger and baggage handling for scheduled carriers at NAG; confirmed directly on Goldair Handling's own site (goldair-handling.com/network/), which lists Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport Nagpur as a Goldair Handling India station, plus 2024 launch posts and 2025 '1 year'/'6 months' anniversary posts documenting ongoing operations. Goldair Handling India (Nagpur) Pvt Ltd is a subsidiary of Greece's Goldair Handling Group; it began operations at NAG in H1 2024 after a competitive tender (per Goldair's own launch article and Ground Handling International reporting). Ownership was not itemized as exactly 100% in sources reached.

AI Airport Services Limited (AIASL)
AIASL (Air India Group's in-house ground-handling arm, formerly AIATSL) has historically held incumbent handling rights for Air India Group and other carriers at AAI-run airports, which included Nagpur prior to Goldair's 2024 market entry. AIASL's own site (aiasl.co.in) could not be reached (TLS certificate mismatch pointing to an unrelated host), so current active status at NAG following Goldair's entry and the airport's transition to GMR (GNIAL) operatorship was not independently confirmed. A continuing self-handling role limited to Air India Group flights is plausible but unverified.

Aircraft fuel Unconfirmed
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IndianOil Aviation)
IndianOil is India's largest ATF/Jet A-1 supplier, fuelling the large majority of AAI-origin airports nationwide; a dedicated into-plane fuel facility at NAG is highly likely given the airport's AAI origin and international/scheduled-carrier status, but IndianOil's own aviation-fuel station listing could not be reached (site returned redirect errors), so a Nagpur-specific listing was not independently confirmed.

Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL)
AIESL provides transit/line checks, defect rectification and AOG support for Air India Group aircraft across its station network, which includes Nagpur as a scheduled Air India/Air India Express port; AIESL's own presence page lists Nagpur only under major-check (base) capability, so line-maintenance specifically was not itemized for this station.

Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL)
Confirmed directly on AIESL's own site (aiesl.in/our-presence), which lists Nagpur as FAA-approved for 'B777 A/c & A319/A320/A321 A/c Major Checks.' This is the former Boeing-built wide-body MRO facility at MIHAN Nagpur (two 100x100m hangars sized for Boeing 777/787-8), which Air India took over after Boeing exited the facility due to financial constraints (per Wikipedia's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport and MIHAN articles).

AAR Indamer
Operates a separate MRO facility at MIHAN Nagpur, alongside the Air India/AIESL hangar, as an AAR Corp/Indamer Aviation joint venture performing airframe heavy maintenance. Confirmed via Wikipedia's MIHAN article ('AAR Indamer has also constructed an MRO besides the Air India MRO'); AAR Indamer's own site was not reachable, so specific current check capability was not itemized.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)
CISF is India's national civil-aviation security force, covering roughly 70 airports nationally including most international/AAI-origin fields (per CISF's own site). The specific current per-airport list was not available in the CISF pages reached, so Nagpur's inclusion was not independently confirmed, though it is standard practice for airports of NAG's international/scheduled-carrier profile.
