Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport) has introduced a sensory room, the \u201cfirst\u201d in India, designed to support neurodivergent individuals and those with sensory sensitivities.<\/p>\n

Situated near the 080 International Lounge at Level Four of Terminal Two, the sensory room provides a tranquil environment to help passengers relax before their flights.<\/p>\n

The initiative is a collaboration with Incluzza, a thought leader in disability inclusion.<\/p>\n

Airports are often bustling with activity, which can be overwhelming for passengers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), sensory processing disorder (SPD), anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).<\/p>\n

The sensory room at BLR Airport is a controlled space that offers a respite from sensory overload, aiding passengers in feeling more comfortable during their travel.<\/p>\n

The sensory room\u2019s design is based on behavioural science and occupational therapy research. It is equipped with ambient lighting, art murals, interactive elements, and specialised items to create a calming and engaging environment.<\/p>\n

These features are intended to alleviate stress and improve well-being for a better travel experience for neurodivergent children and adults.<\/p>\n

Further enhancing the sensory experience are a crash pad, weighted blanket, therapy mats, an optical curtain, an infinity mirror, tactile wall panels, a white noise machine, and a sound system.<\/p>\n

These features aim to provide a consistent and calming atmosphere for passengers. Additionally, a balance board, lava lamp, and aroma diffuser are included to aid focus and stress reduction.<\/p>\n

Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) CEO and MD Hari Marar said: \u201cWe are committed to building an inclusive and passenger-friendly airport. BLR Airport has consistently aimed at offering the latest innovations, from our biophilic, sustainable Terminal 2 to digital solutions that enhance efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition of the sensory room aligns with our mission to create a seamless and stress-free experience for every traveller, ensuring that inclusivity is not just a feature but a core value for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Menzies Aviation opened a domestic cargo terminal<\/a> at Kempegowda International Airport, in partnership with BIAL, to meet rising airfreight demand with advanced technology and sustainable design.<\/p>\n
