Authorities are planning economy zones in airports that would sell food and beverages at an affordable price, sources said.
Eating at airports is a costly affair. Food items sold at airport outlets are often overpriced, forcing many passengers to skip meals. But it may soon get easy on the pockets with the authorities planning economy zones that would sell food and beverages at an affordable price, sources said.
Unlike other restaurants in the airport, these zones will not have any seating arrangements. Passengers will have to collect their food from the counters and eat at fast-food tables. There will also be a takeaway facility.
The civil aviation minister reached a consensus to start work on the economy zones after several rounds of meetings. Discussions will now be held with the Airport Authorities of India (AAI), food outlets at airports as well as other agencies to operate such zones, they said.
