Air Passengers welcome Udaan Yatri Cafe initiative at Indian Airports
Travellers can get tea and bottled water for Rs 10, coffee for Rs 20. Sacks like samosas, kachoris or patties are priced at Rs 20. The Cafe also offers a sweet of the day for Rs 20.
For years the food costs at Airports in India have been highly priced with Water bottles & Tea priced around Rs. 100 to 200, while basic snacks like Vada Pav, Samosas etc priced around Rs. 200 to 250! Flyers often were left with no option but to buy these snacks at exorbitant prices or carry their own food.
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha raised the issue in Parliament about the high prices of basic food items at the airport during the Winter Session of the Parliament which prompted the government to initiate measures to make the availability of affordable food options inside the airports.
Thus was born Udan Yatri Cafe, a government initiative that was designed to provide affordable food and beverages to travellers at airports.
