Plus, for those who like to plan ahead, you can even pre-order it through the airline's website and mobile app.

Why Kombucha?

Kombucha is not just any drink; it's a probiotic powerhouse with numerous potential health benefits. From supporting gut health to aiding brain function and reducing infection risks, Kombucha is all the rage in the world of wellness. It's a delightful and refreshing beverage that's also kind to your liver. For health-conscious travelers, Kombucha is a fantastic alternative to sugary drinks.

At Akasa Air, they understand that passengers have diverse dietary preferences and are increasingly mindful of what they consume. That's why they've partnered with Borécha to bring Kombucha on board. Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing & Experience Officer of Akasa Air, emphasized that today's travelers are more conscious than ever about their food choices. By introducing Kombucha, they aim to provide passengers with a delicious and healthy beverage option.

Ishan Varshnei, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Borécha, spoke about how Borécha is leading a hydration revolution by empowering individuals to make healthier choices. This partnership between Borécha and Akasa Air is all about liberating travelers by offering delightful functional beverages on board, transforming the way we stay hydrated, especially in sectors like aviation, where healthy options are often limited.

More Choices, More Convenience

Besides Kombucha, passengers can expect an expanded menu with over 60 meal options as part of Café Akasa’s refreshed offerings. Whether you prefer healthy, fusion, festive, or gourmet meals, Akasa Air aims to cater to a wide array of tastes and dietary preferences.

Akasa Air is India's fastest-growing airline, connecting 16 cities across the country. Since its launch in August 2022, it has served over 4.3 million revenue passengers.
