Come January 1, 2024, Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is set to transform into a 'silent airport,' providing passengers with a serene and noise-free travel experience. The initiative aims to create an environment where travelers can enjoy a peaceful auditory experience during their wait times, engaging in their favorite activities without disturbance.

Key Highlights of the Silent Airport Initiative:

Visual Flight Information: To ensure no vital information is missed, the airport will prominently display flight details on screens across Terminal-1 and Terminal-2.

Limited Announcements: The 'silent' atmosphere will feature only essential announcements, such as changes in boarding gates and information regarding the Inline Baggage Screening System.

Emergency Announcements: While the airport embraces tranquility, emergency and security-related announcements will continue to be communicated through the public announcement systems as needed.

Passenger Sensitization Campaign: Thiruvananthapuram International Airport plans to run a campaign on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to familiarize passengers with the 'Silent Airport' initiative.

This move aligns Thiruvananthapuram with other 'silent airports' in India, including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow, aiming to enhance passenger comfort during their travel experience.

The airport, managed by the Adani Group, anticipates that this initiative will contribute to a more relaxed and enjoyable journey for passengers. As the travel landscape evolves, Thiruvananthapuram International Airport continues to prioritize passenger well-being, ensuring a seamless and peaceful travel experience.

Stay tuned for the transformation on January 1 as Thiruvananthapuram International Airport embarks on its 'silent' journey, providing passengers with a tranquil and stress-free environment.

Faasos Brings Back Pizza Wraps with Bollywood-Inspired Campaign

Faasos Brings Back Pizza Wraps with Bollywood-Inspired Campaign

Published on April 25, 2026

Rebel Foods’s popular brand Faasos has reintroduced its fan-favourite Pizza Wraps, supported by an AI-led digital campaign that draws inspiration from iconic Bollywood films.

Blending food with pop culture, the campaign reimagines memorable scenes from films such as Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Om Shanti Om, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Phir Hera Pheri, positioning Pizza Wraps at the centre of these nostalgic narratives.

The campaign leverages AI-generated digital assets to recreate familiar cinematic moments with a playful twist, tapping into India’s deep-rooted connection with Bollywood. This approach aims to create a strong cultural recall while presenting the product in a fresh, engaging format.

Commenting on the relaunch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP Marketing at Rebel Foods, noted that Pizza Wraps had previously received strong consumer response, and the brand saw an opportunity to bring them back in a way that feels relevant to today’s audience.

At the core of the product is a convenience-driven format, addressing changing consumption habits. While pizza remains widely popular, it is often less suited for on-the-go consumption. Pizza Wraps aim to bridge this gap by offering a portable, easy-to-eat alternative that combines familiar flavours with added convenience.

To further amplify reach, the campaign includes collaborations with over 20 influencers, who are creating Bollywood-inspired content across social media platforms. From dramatic dialogues to recreated iconic scenes, the content is designed to drive engagement and spark conversations among younger audiences.

With this relaunch, Faasos continues to tap into the intersection of food, culture, and digital storytelling, positioning Pizza Wraps as a modern, accessible take on a globally loved format.
