Affordable food options have now arrived at Chennai airport with the launch of ‘Udaan Yatri Cafe,’ an initiative aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of overpriced food and beverages at airports. The move comes months after a similar outlet was introduced at Kolkata airport, and has been welcomed by AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, who had previously raised this concern in Parliament.
Sharing a video clip of his speech on social media platform X, Chadha expressed his satisfaction, stating, “A small spark can light up the darkest skies… First Kolkata, now Chennai! Glad to see affordable food canteens being set up at Airports. Grateful to everyone who supported my demand for affordable food and drinks at airports. Congratulations to each one of you - every drop together makes the ocean rise." He further added that he would continue advocating for public interest issues and encouraged people to share their suggestions.
Chadha had brought attention to the exorbitant pricing of food and beverages at airports during the discussion on the Indian Aviation Bill 2024 in the Winter Session of Parliament. Highlighting the issue, he remarked, “A water bottle costs ₹100, and tea is priced at ₹200-250. Can’t the government establish affordable canteens at airports?” Additionally, he pointed out the challenges travelers face, such as long queues, overcrowding, and disorganized airport operations.
The launch of ‘Udaan Yatri Cafe’ at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport was first announced as a pilot project in December last year. At the time, Chadha had termed the move a “positive step” and expressed hope that it would be expanded to all airports nationwide. The initiative ensures that air travelers are not compelled to pay exorbitant prices for essential items like water, tea, and coffee.
The aviation ministry had earlier stated that if successful, similar food joints would be established at other airports managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu inaugurated the Kolkata outlet as part of the celebrations marking 100 years of the airport. Now, with Chennai following suit, the initiative is set to provide much-needed relief to passengers seeking affordable refreshment options while traveling.

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. This collaboration reflects our focus on quality, consistency, and global relevance.”
The Popeyes Mumbai T2 outlet is now open for travellers, offering both dine-in and takeaway options for domestic and international passengers, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of Louisiana at India’s busiest airport.
