Travellers flying from Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, or Pune can now enjoy budget-friendly meals, thanks to the Udaan Yatri Café. Launched under the Udaan scheme to make air travel more accessible, these cafés are redefining airport dining with prices that don’t pinch the pocket. One can get tea for just ₹10, and popular snacks like samosas, vada pav, coffee, and sweets for ₹20.
Airport food has long been criticized for being overpriced, often making basic meals unaffordable for many passengers. The Udaan Yatri Café directly addresses this issue, ensuring that travellers from different economic backgrounds can eat comfortably while waiting for their flights.

The initiative is not only practical but also deeply symbolic of the scheme’s broader goal—making every aspect of air travel, from tickets to terminal experiences, affordable and inclusive.
The café is now operational at four major airports: Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and most recently, Pune. Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, inaugurated the Pune outlet and announced that the model has already received a positive response from passengers across these cities. With a simple self-service format and easy-to-locate counters, the café has quickly become popular among frequent flyers, families, and solo travellers alike.

The Udaan Yatri Café is a rare example of meaningful public service: a clean, affordable, and thoughtful space that welcomes every traveller with both warmth and value.
