Travel Food Services inaugurates second UDAN Yatri Café at Chennai International Airport

INDIA. Travel Food Services (TFS) has opened the latest UDAN Yatri Café at Chennai International Airport Domestic Terminal 1 in the pre-check-in area. It is staffed by specially abled individuals.

The café brand was established to provide “affordable yet quality food and drink” at airports. It is part of an initiative named UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik), developed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) and the Airports Authority of India (AAI).

The café’s great value is highlighted by a cup of tea and bottles of water priced at just INR10 (US$0.12) and items such as coffee, sweets and samosas at just INR20 (US$0.24).

The new venue was inaugurated by Hon. Minister of Civil Aviation Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu, in the presence of H Tamil Nadu State Industries Minister T.R.B. Rajaa; AAI Chairman Vipin Kumar; MoCA Joint Secretary Rubina Ali; and other senior officials from MoCA and AAI.

A post from TFS on LinkedIn said: “What makes the opening of the UDAN Yatri Café truly special is the team of specially abled individuals at Chennai who serve with dedication and pride.

“Their presence embodies the spirit of equal opportunity and inclusivity, ensuring that it is more than just a café, it’s a space that represents empowerment and dignity in employment.”

This is the second UDAN Yatri Café operated by TFS. It follows on from the debut café opening at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in December last year.
