Hard Rock set to fly into Indian airports

Pune: Waiting at international airports for a long-haul flight might soon become a pleasurable experience with cult rock, dining and entertainment brand Hard Rock Café International all set to bring its new concept, Hard Rock Bar, to Indian airports.
The first Hard Rock Bar in the country—there are only two such outlets globally—is scheduled to open at Hyderabad’s new international airport on 16 March, Jay Singh, managing director of HR Café India Pvt. Ltd, said.
The cult hard rock and casual dining café is also set to open its largest outlet in the country, a 10,000 sq. ft riverside property in Pune this April, with plans to add at least one more of its large-format cafes by the end of 2008, said Singh, also the managing director of food and beverages company JSM Corp.
With India now an important destination for business and leisure travel and more and more Indians travelling by air, the government is in the process of setting up a number of new airports with private sector participation, the first of which will be in the southern cities of Bangalore and Hyderabad.
