Air India SATS Airport Services (AISATS), a joint venture between Air India Limited and Singapore’s SATS Limited has been awarded the mandate to manage ground handling services for the premier Russian charters, Nordwind Airlines and OrenAir at Trivandrum International Airport.

AISATS has been chosen to manage both the charters by providing end-to-end airport services including passenger, ramp and baggage handling.

Nordwind Airlines started its maiden operation to Trivandrum from Moscow on Saturday (21 October) using their Boeing757 aircraft. OrenAir will commence its charter services between Russia’s fourth largest city Yekaterinburg and Trivandrum on Monday using a Boeing737 aircraft.

“We congratulate Nordwind Airlines and OrenAir for starting their services at Trivandrum and wish them every success. It is our pleasure to serve both the airlines and their passengers,” said Willy Ko, CEO, AISATS.

AISATS was formed in 2008 as an equal joint venture between Air India Limited and Singapore Airport Terminal Services (now SATS Limited) with the vision to upgrade to world-class facilities for attracting more airlines to fly into India.
