Hyderabad , Nov. 29

Singapore Air Terminal Services (SATS), a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, is keen on securing ground-handling works at the upcoming GMR Hyderabad International Airport (GHIAL) near here.

"Yes, we are interested in the contract. We will take part in the bidding process," a SATS spokesperson told Business Line. SATS has joined hands with Indian partners such as Air India and Taj to bag key contracts for the Bangalore international airport.

While the Air India-SATS combine bagged one of the two ground handling contracts, the Taj-SATS won part of the flight-catering contract.

It also secured the cargo contract, forming a tie-up with Air India. A senior executive of GHIAL said that the tender process for the ground-handling contract has begun.

"We are hopeful of finalising the bid by the year-end," he said.GHIAL had recently entered into two in-flight catering concessional agreements with LSG Sky Chef and Sky Gourmet.

The contracts envisaged setting up of world-class in-flight catering units at the upcoming airport at Shamshabad.
