Air India lounge

The first Air India lounge of the Tata era — luxury rooted in Indian design.
Opened in March 2025, the Air India Lounge at Bangalore Terminal 2 Domestic Departures marks a new chapter for the carrier. Now under the Tata Group, Air India has been overhauling its ground and in-flight product, and the Bengaluru lounge — the first redesigned after the acquisition — is the brand's statement of intent: true to its Indian roots, with a touch of luxury. Sitting on the second floor next to the 080 Lounge, after security, it is operated by the local 080 brand and shares an entrance with the adjacent 080 Domestic Lounge. To get in you'll need an Air India Business Class ticket, Star Alliance Gold status, or an eligible paid membership such as United Club or Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge access.
Crowding · moderate
A comfortable spot to work before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power and seating suitable for a laptop. Quieter than the open contract lounges, which helps for focused work.

As a flagship Air India lounge in the post-Tata redesign, the food leans into Indian cuisine alongside international options, with a hot buffet and a bar serving drinks plus coffee, tea and soft drinks. Expect a more curated spread than the standard 080 contract lounges next door.
