For travelers hurrying through departures, a lost charger, a fast snack, or even a water bottle can now be just a tap away.

Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), the biggest private airport operator in India, has collaborated with Blinkit, the top quick commerce platform in the country, to introduce India’s inaugural in-terminal quick commerce service at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai.

The service has officially launched at Terminal 2, domestic departures, delivering app-based convenience straight into the airport experience.

Travelers can request essentials via the Blinkit app and receive them at their location in the terminal, such as boarding gates, lounges, the food court, and certain partner stores. Deliveries are conducted by skilled on-site staff, guaranteeing a smooth and safe experience while maintaining travel schedules.

AAHL Representative stated: “Adani Airports is redefining the way digital services can improve the airport experience. Incorporating app-based convenience in the terminal enables travelers to utilize their time more effectively and elevates the overall quality of service. This marks a move towards creating airports that are more responsive and focused on passengers.

The range includes travel gear, gadgets, treats, literature, infant care products, and personal necessities. Allowed liquids like bottled water, chilled drinks, and juices are obtained from sanctioned in-terminal stock, adhering to airport security regulations.
