The Ministry of Civil Aviation has launched the 'Udaan Yatri Cafe' to tackle the issue of overpriced food and beverages at airports. The first cafe was opened at Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport by Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu.
During the winter session of Parliament, MPs, including AAP's Raghav Chadha, raised concerns about high prices of basic items like water and tea at airports. Chadha criticized the exorbitant costs and poor management at airports.
In response, the government introduced the 'Udaan Yatri Cafe' initiative, offering essential items at reasonable prices. If successful, it will expand to other airports managed by the Airports Authority of India.
MP Raghav Chadha expressed satisfaction with the initiative, calling it a positive step for air travelers. He hopes it will extend nationwide to ensure affordable amenities for the public.
Chadha highlighted the rising airfares and compared domestic and international ticket prices, emphasizing the financial burden on common people.
