Balmer Lawrie Logistics has announced a strategic partnership with Sky One Airways to significantly enhance the nation’s mission-critical defence cargo movement. In a landmark development, Balmer Lawrie has become the first Government of India Enterprise to deploy MI-17 heavy-lift military helicopters for specialised defence consignments.
This breakthrough marks a major transformation for Balmer Lawrie, signalling its evolution from a primarily terrestrial logistics provider to a truly multimodal force capable of handling high-priority, sensitive and time-bound defence operations.
By combining Balmer Lawrie’s legacy, scale and reliability with Sky One’s aviation strength, the collaboration creates a robust logistics alliance tailored to meet India’s increasing defence mobility needs. The partnership will support rapid deployment, improved reach and enhanced operational efficiency for critical consignments across diverse terrains.
This development underscores Balmer Lawrie’s commitment to supporting national security infrastructure and advancing India’s defence logistics ecosystem through innovation, agility and strategic collaboration.
