“The footfall at the cafe has been around 900 per day and is growing,” an Airports Authority of India (AAI) spokesperson told PTI. It means that the cafe, located in the departure area of the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (NSCBI) Airport in the city, has served around 27,000 passengers in one month.

Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, who inaugurated the cafe during the centenary celebration of the Kolkata airport on December 21 last year, is impressed by the response the eatery is getting from passengers.“Since the day I took oath as Civil Aviation Minister, my mission has been to make air travel more affordable and accessible for every Indian. The UDAN Yatri Cafe at Kolkata Airport, India's first affordable food outlet at an airport, is a significant step in that direction,” Naidu said in a post on X.
