O’Vetra Lounge Opens at Trichy Airport

Bangalore Airport Services Limited (BASL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL), today announced the opening of O’Vetra, a new lounge at Tiruchirappalli International Airport.

Designed to offer a refined blend of comfort, culture, and convenience, O’Vetra is set to elevate the passenger experience at Tiruchirappalli Airport. Built on the award-winning service excellence associated with the 080 lounges at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport), the new lounge reimagines airport hospitality with elegant details and a warm, welcoming ambiance.

Rooted in the cultural fabric of Tiruchirappalli, the lounge reflects the city’s identity through design elements drawn from local art, architecture, and materials. A Kolam-inspired reception wall welcomes guests with tradition. Soft blue flooring mirrors the Kaveri River, and handcrafted cane and bamboo details adorn the ceiling. Terracotta textures and a calming beige palette pay homage to the Rock Fort Temple.

Spanning 450 sqm (domestic) and 620 sqm (international), O’Vetra prioritizes comfort, accessibility, and intuitive service. It accommodates 107 guests (domestic) and 150 (international), with layouts tailored for solo and group travelers.

George Kuruvilla, CEO, BASL said, “At BASL, our vision has always been to craft lounges that go beyond function—spaces that reflect the soul of a region while elevating the travel experience. The launch of O’Vetra marks an exciting new chapter as we take this vision beyond Bengaluru for the very first time.”

From elevated culinary offerings to inclusive design, O’Vetra reflects the ethos of thoughtful hospitality. Guests can enjoy live culinary stations, buffet spreads, and dedicated bar areas blending regional familiarity with global inspiration. The rotating menu uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients to cater to various dietary needs across all meal periods.

The lounges are PRM-compliant and include restrooms and shower facilities for international travelers. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout for connectivity and convenience.

As BASL expands beyond Bengaluru, O’Vetra represents a commitment to creating regionally inspired, premium airport lounges across India.
