Modi government is going to give a big gift to air travellers. The government is going to arrange cheap food for the travellers at the airport. Now, travellers will be able to buy essential food items like tea, coffee, snacks and water at cheap rates at airports according to their budget.

According to information received from sources in the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the government aims to make air travel more affordable and inclusive.

 

Launch of kiosk service

The government has prepared a plan to launch ‘kiosks’ at the airport. These kiosks will first be started at airports operated by the Airport Authority of India (AAI). After this, this service will be expanded to major airports across India. Through these kiosks, passengers will get things like tea, coffee, snacks and water at affordable prices.

 

Kiosk will provide employment

Under this initiative, disabled women and men will be given the right to operate kiosks at the airport. This move will not only provide affordable services to passengers but will also create new employment opportunities for those who need it the most. The aim of this scheme is to promote a more accessible workforce at the airport.

 

Issue of expensive food

Expensive food at the airport has always been discussed. Questions have been raised on this issue in Parliament many times. Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram had also raised questions on the expensive food prices at the airport. He had given an example that the price of hot water and tea made from tea bags at Kolkata airport was Rs 340. In view of this issue, the government has planned to take this step so that passengers can get cheap and affordable services.
