Making air travel more accessible doesn’t always require grand gestures—it can start with something as simple as a cup of tea for ₹10!
The Udan Yatri Cafe at Kolkata's Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport is a refreshing departure from the usual overpriced airport fare.
Here’s the menu:
Water Bottle: ₹10
Tea: ₹10
Coffee: ₹20
Samosa: ₹20
Sweet of the Day: ₹20
This initiative by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Airports Authority of India is more than just a menu; it’s a mindset. It’s about ensuring that no traveler—whether a first-time flyer or a frequent flier—feels out of place. In a world where airports often symbolize exclusivity, the Udan Yatri Cafe is the great leveller. It brings people together over simple, affordable food that tastes good and feels even better.
Next time you’re passing through, stop by, sip on a ₹10 tea, and take a moment to appreciate how small changes like this are making a big difference. Inclusivity isn’t always about grand plans—it can also look like a tasty samosa shared at 30,000 feet.
