The first cafe opened at India — Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in December, inaugurated by Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu. Subsequently, a second 'Udaan Yatri Cafe' was launched at Chennai International Airport. These cafes offer essential items at reasonable prices, such as water for ₹10 and tea for ₹10. The India — Airports Authority of India is now looking to expand these affordable canteens across all AAI-controlled terminals nationwide to improve the passenger experience.
