What Is Airport Meet & Greet at Bangalore (BLR)?

Bangalore airport meet and greet — also known as meet and assist — is a paid, personal airport assistance service at Kempegowda International Airport (IATA: BLR). A dedicated Senaxus Air Customer Service Agent (CSA) is assigned solely to you and escorts you through every checkpoint of your airport journey, from aircraft exit to vehicle handover, or from terminal entrance to boarding gate.

Senaxus Air has operated professional airport assistance since 2014 and manages thousands of BLR assisted journeys annually. This guide is based on our team’s direct, daily experience at Kempegowda International Airport — including both the original Terminal 1 and the celebrated T2 Garden Terminal.

Why BLR demands professional assistance: Kempegowda International Airport handles over 36 million passengers annually and is India’s third-busiest airport (DGCA, 2024). Bengaluru is India’s technology capital — home to Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, and hundreds of global tech companies — generating one of the most time-pressured, schedule-critical passenger bases of any Indian airport. The airport’s 40-kilometre distance from the city centre means that every minute saved inside the terminal translates directly into earlier city arrival. On a day with a board meeting at 10 AM, the difference between a 45-minute airport exit and a 90-minute one is the meeting itself.

T1 vs T2 Garden Terminal at Bangalore Airport

BLR operates two terminals, and understanding which one your flight uses is the first step in any assisted journey.

Terminal Type Design Airlines
T1 Older domestic terminal Functional, compact Select domestic carriers
T2 — Garden Terminal New, international + select domestic Biophilic, 10,000+ plants, 255,000 sqm International flights + premium domestic

About T2: The Garden Terminal (opened 2023) is one of Asia’s most architecturally acclaimed airport terminals, designed around Bengaluru’s identity as the Garden City. At 255,000 square metres, it is large enough that first-time visitors — and even frequent travellers — can take significantly longer to navigate than expected. Your Senaxus Air CSA knows every immigration zone, baggage belt, and gate corridor in T2 and positions you correctly without hesitation.

Your CSA confirms your terminal — T1 or T2 — during the booking process. All meeting point details, including the specific zone within T2, are confirmed to you 24 hours before your flight.

Arrival at Bangalore Airport: Step-by-Step Guide

Here is exactly what a Senaxus Air-assisted arrival at BLR looks like, based on our daily operations at the airport:

Step 1: 24 Hours Before — CSA Confirmation

You receive a WhatsApp message with your CSA’s full name, photo, direct mobile number, and the exact meeting point. Your CSA monitors your flight from departure and knows its real-time status before you land.

Step 2: Aircraft to Meeting Point

Whether your flight arrives at T1 or T2, your CSA is already in position at the aerobridge or the nearest permitted access point. You exit the aircraft to see a name board with your name. No searching. No first-moment confusion.

Step 3: Immigration Hall

BLR’s T2 immigration hall processes large waves of international arrivals from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America. During peak windows — early morning Gulf flights, late evening European arrivals — queues can reach 40–60 minutes for unassisted passengers.

Your CSA routes you to the correct counter (Indian national / OCI / foreigner), confirms your documents (passport, visa, arrival card), and provides support for any e-Visa or Visa on Arrival procedures. The difference in time is consistently 30–45 minutes.

Step 4: Baggage Claim

Your CSA identifies your carousel from the FIDS screens, accompanies you to the correct belt, and coordinates with the pre-booked porter. You walk through this step without lifting or searching.

Step 5: Customs

Correct channel selection (green or red), documentation ready. For NRI passengers carrying goods above the duty-free threshold, your CSA provides pre-counter guidance on declaration requirements.

Step 6: Exit and City Transfer

The exit coordination is often the most valuable moment of the entire service. Your CSA has already confirmed your driver’s vehicle registration, pickup bay, and estimated arrival time. You exit customs into direct contact with your driver — not into 200 waiting people holding signs.

Average exit time with Senaxus Air at BLR: 35–50 minutes from aircraft. Unassisted peak-hour benchmark: 75–100 minutes.

Departure from Bangalore Airport: Step-by-Step Guide

BLR recommends arriving 3 hours before international and 2 hours before domestic departures. Senaxus Air ensures that window is used productively:

Step 1: Terminal Coordination (30 Minutes Before Arrival)

Your CSA WhatsApps your driver with the exact kerbside drop-off zone for your terminal and flight. When you arrive, there is no circling or confusion.

Step 2: Check-in

Direct escort to the correct airline counter. Your CSA confirms weight limits, assists with document presentation, and coordinates baggage drop efficiently.

Step 3: Security

BLR’s security queues during the morning wave (5 AM–9 AM) are dense. Your CSA routes you correctly, ensures your carry-on is prepared (laptop out, liquids separated), and reduces the security process from 20–30 minutes to 8–12 minutes in most cases.

Step 4: Departure Immigration (International)

Your CSA escorts you through departure immigration, confirming boarding pass and passport presentation. For frequent BLR travelers, your CSA’s knowledge of which officer queues move fastest is genuine operational value.

Step 5: Lounge or Gate

Escort to your airline lounge or directly to the boarding gate, with confirmed flight status and boarding time. Your CSA remains until you are seated in the lounge or positioned at the gate.

Transit at BLR: Managing Tight Connections

Bengaluru is a growing hub for connections between South Indian domestic destinations and international flights. Unlike CSMIA, BLR has a single integrated terminal concept — domestic and international operations share the same building structure, making transit more manageable than at multi-terminal airports.

However, immigration queue times, re-check-in requirements for some airlines, and the physical distance between arriving domestic gates and international departure areas still make professional transit assistance critical for connections under 90 minutes.

Your CSA meets you at the aerobridge of your incoming flight, manages the complete handover to your outward departure, and ensures you are at your next boarding gate with enough time to board comfortably.

The 40-km Factor: Why BLR Meet & Greet Is Worth More Than the Terminal Alone

Kempegowda International Airport sits in Devanahalli — 40 kilometres north of Bengaluru’s central business district. This is the longest airport-to-city distance of any of India’s four major tech hub airports (Mumbai: 28 km, Hyderabad: 25 km, Delhi: 20 km).

During peak commute hours on the Outer Ring Road and NH-44, this drive takes 75–90 minutes. During off-peak, it takes 45–60 minutes.

This means every minute saved inside the airport has a compounded value: 40 minutes saved at immigration = 40 fewer minutes in the car later = earlier arrival in the city. For a tech executive flying in for a 10 AM standup, an NRI family picking up parents who arrived at 2 AM, or a medical patient being transferred to Manipal Hospital — the exit time from BLR airport is as operationally important as anything that happens inside it.

Who Benefits Most from Bangalore Airport Meet & Greet?

IT and Tech Executives

Bengaluru’s tech ecosystem is India’s largest and one of the world’s most productive. Executives from global companies — Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, Infosys — travel through BLR on tight schedules where 45 minutes of lost airport time has a direct cost in productivity, meetings, and travel quality.

Our corporate clients include travel managers at leading Indian IT companies who have added Senaxus Air airport assistance to their official travel policies. At senior executive rates, the service cost is consistently justified in the first 20 minutes of recovered time.

NRI Families Sending Parents to Bengaluru

Bangalore has a large NRI population — particularly in the USA, UK, and Gulf — whose parents travel to India independently. An elderly parent arriving at BLR T2 after a 10-hour international flight, navigating the Garden Terminal’s large immigration hall and baggage area alone, faces real difficulty.

Senaxus Air’s team manages this scenario daily. The parent is met at the aerobridge, cleared through every checkpoint, and placed in the family’s car — 40 minutes after landing. The child in California or London receives the “we’re moving” message, not a worried call from inside the terminal.

Medical Travelers

Bengaluru is a leading medical tourism destination, home to Manipal Hospital, Fortis Bannerghatta, Narayana Health, and Columbia Asia. Patients arriving for treatment — often tired, sometimes post-procedure on a return visit, managing medical equipment — need the calmest, most coordinated airport experience available.

International Business Visitors and Conference Delegates

India’s technology capital attracts global investors, startup partners, and conference attendees throughout the year — particularly around events like Global Investors Meet and GITEX India. For first-time visitors to India, the 40 km BLR-to-city transfer is already a logistical challenge. A professional airport escort from aircraft to vehicle sets the right tone for the visit from the first moment.
