Kolkata Airport has launched a new initiative under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme to offer affordable food options for passengers. The pilot project, UDAN Yatri Cafe, allows travelers to enjoy a cup of tea for just Rs 10, making it one of the most budget-friendly options at an airport. This move aims to address concerns about overpriced food at airports and is expected to be expanded to other airports across India.
The initiative, launched by Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia, seeks to make air travel more inclusive, in line with the UDAN scheme’s goal of making air travel affordable for the common man. With the rising costs of living and travel, this new offering will provide relief to passengers looking for budget-friendly food choices.
The UDAN Yatri Cafe will offer not just tea, but other basic food and beverages at reasonable prices, ensuring that passengers have access to essential amenities without breaking the bank. This move could revolutionize airport dining experiences, setting a precedent for similar initiatives at other terminals across India, helping make air travel more comfortable and affordable for all.
