Bird Group

Bird Group ( ) operates as a diversified aviation services and travel technology conglomerate based in India. Within the aerospace value chain, it functions primarily as a downstream service provider, offering comprehensive ground handling, third-party line maintenance, and executive aviation services. The organisation acts as a critical infrastructure partner at major Indian airports, facilitating the turnaround and logistical management of scheduled commercial flights and private aviation. Through its subsidiary, Bird Automotive and Bird ExecuJet, the group provides fixed-base operator (FBO) services and maintenance support. It maintains established service relationships with international carriers and has partnered with global firms such as ExecuJet Aviation Group for business jet management. The organisation is also a key distributor for global distribution systems (GDS), specifically representing the Amadeus platform within the Indian subcontinent to manage airline ticketing and reservations. Prospective partners should verify the specific ground handling licenses held by the group at individual Indian airports, as these are subject to periodic government tenders and regulatory audits by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Buyers should also confirm the scope of Part 145 maintenance approvals and the specific airframe certifications held by their technical teams before contracting for line maintenance or technical support services.
