The acquisition is expected to complete within the next 60 to 90 days.

LSG India, established in 2001, is a major provider of in-flight catering and allied aviation services for multiple domestic and international airlines, including IndiGo, Lufthansa, Etihad, and Qatar Airways.

Operational Footprint and Scale​

The Bengaluru operation boasts substantial infrastructure and capacity, enabling Bluspring to cover the end-to-end aviation catering value chain.

The acquisition immediately provides Bluspring access to in-flight catering facilities operating at Bengaluru Airport under a long-term concession agreement that remains valid until 2039.
