Chandigarh – Uber, one of India’s leading ride-hailing platforms, in collaboration with Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), has announced the launch of dedicated premium pickup zones for Uber Black and Uber Comfort at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (BLR Airport). This initiative marks India’s first-ever dedicated Uber Black pickup experience at an airport, setting a new standard for premium on-ground travel.
The exclusive zones, located at both Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2), are designed to provide a seamless connection between air travel and premium ground transportation. They feature upgraded amenities, on-ground assistance, and a focus on passenger comfort and convenience, ensuring that travellers transition smoothly from their flights to their ride.
A Milestone for Uber in India’s Premium Mobility Segment
With the introduction of these pickup zones, Uber strengthens its positioning as a premium mobility provider at one of India’s busiest and most significant aviation hubs. These zones offer:
-
Faster access to premium rides
-
Dedicated trained support staff to guide passengers
-
High-rated professional drivers operating luxury and well-appointed vehicles
-
Premium amenities including water dispensers, mobile charging stations, and a staffed helpdesk kiosk
This move aims to enhance the airport travel experience from the moment a passenger steps out of the terminal, setting a benchmark for similar services at other airports in India.
Statements from Uber and BIAL
Arnab Kumar, Director, Business Development, Uber India and South Asia, expressed his enthusiasm, saying:
“Bangalore airport is one of the busiest and most important airports in India. With the introduction of Uber Black Pickup zones for Uber Black and Uber Comfort, we are enhancing the travel experience from the moment passengers step out of the terminal. This collaboration reflects our continued focus on offering premium, tech-enabled, and rider-first solutions at India’s leading airports.”
A BIAL spokesperson added:
“We’re pleased to welcome a premium offering like Uber Black at BLR Airport, further extending the comfort and care our passengers experience inside the terminal to their journey on-ground. The dedicated pickup zones for Uber Black and Uber Comfort are a step forward in our vision to deliver seamless, high-quality experiences at every stage of travel. This collaboration is yet another step in strengthening our commitment to delivering a world-class, passenger-first airport ecosystem.”
A New Era for Airport Ground Transportation in India
The launch of the Uber Black Pickup Zone represents a shift towards high-end, technology-enabled airport mobility solutions in the country. While Uber has long been associated with convenience and affordability, its Uber Black service caters to customers who prioritise comfort, exclusivity, and premium service quality.
This initiative not only benefits frequent flyers and business travellers but also appeals to leisure travellers seeking a stress-free and luxurious transition from flight to destination.
By securing prominent and easily accessible pickup points at BLR Airport, Uber ensures that customers spend less time navigating pickup locations and more time enjoying the comfort of their ride. The trained on-ground teams further enhance the process by assisting with luggage, guiding passengers to their vehicles, and ensuring a quick departure.
Uber’s Broader Airport Strategy
Globally, Uber has been investing in strategic partnerships with airports to integrate ride-hailing into the overall passenger journey. In India, the launch of the Uber Black Pickup Zone at BLR Airport signals a growing focus on premium offerings and a stronger partnership with key travel hubs.
Given the increasing passenger traffic at Bangalore airport—serving millions of domestic and international travellers annually—this move is well-timed to meet the evolving needs of customers seeking premium service standards.
Industry analysts suggest that such initiatives could pave the way for wider adoption of luxury ride-hailing services in India, especially among the urban elite, corporate executives, and international visitors accustomed to similar offerings abroad.
