If you travel by air often, soon having a cup of coffee at the airport won’t cost you a fortune. Special preparations are being made for this. In the coming days, airports will have economy zones where tea, food, water, snacks, and more will be available at affordable prices. 
 
However, these zones will not have seating arrangements like restaurants for comfortable dining. Passengers can buy food or beverages from the counter. The economy zones at the airports are expected to open shortly. Preparations are also underway to provide an “on the go facility” for people to pack their food and take it with them.

Expensive food and drinks at airports put an extra burden on passenger’s pockets. This is why many travellers have raised complaints about it. After several rounds of meetings, the Minister of Civil Aviation has reached a consensus to begin working on this issue.

The process of creating and operating such zones will begin shortly after discussions with AAI (Airports Authority of India) and other food outlets serving at the airport as well as new agencies.

Initially, such zones will be designed at newly constructed airports. In the future, there are plans to develop such eco zones at other airports by categorising and clearing space for the same.
