Popeyes, the iconic Louisiana-born fried chicken brand, has officially launched its first airport outlet at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Terminal 2. The opening marks a strategic step in Popeyes’ expansion across India following its debut in Mumbai earlier this year in August.

The Mumbai T2 store has been launched in partnership with AMRL, reflecting Popeyes’ focus on premium, high-footfall locations and its intent to bring globally loved flavours to travellers. Visitors at Terminal 2 can now enjoy signature offerings such as the Chicken Sandwich, Signature Fried Chicken, Boneless Chicken, and the Hot & Messy range, specially curated for the Indian palate. Staying true to its Louisiana Cajun roots, all chicken is fresh, hand-battered, hand-breaded, and marinated for 12 hours, ensuring bold and distinctive flavours in every bite.

Speaking on the expansion, Sameer Khetarpal, CEO & MD of Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, said, “Airports have become critical touchpoints for brand discovery and repeat engagement. Launching at Mumbai T2 allows us to reach a high-intent, high-frequency audience and take Popeyes beyond the high street. After a strong response in Mumbai since August, this opening is a deliberate move to scale the brand in premium travel-led locations.”

Highlighting the importance of F&B in the airport experience, a spokesperson from AMRL added, “The launch of Popeyes at CSMIA marks a significant milestone in AMRL’s F&B growth. Airports are evolving into lifestyle destinations, and partnering with a globally iconic brand like Popeyes aligns strongly with our vision of offering world-class choices to travellers.
