Editor’s Note
It is the aspiration of every common Indian to take to the skies atleast once in their lifetime.
There are 150+ airports in service currently in India of which over a dozen are operated by Private Companies such as the Adani Group, GMR Group and Fairfax Holdings.
Kolkata and Chennai airports, which are among the top 6 airports in India continue to be operated by Airports Authority of India (AAI).
Operating food and snack outlets at such low prices is a boon to middle class Indian who otherwise dread the exorbitantly priced food items.
