Thiruvananthapuram: Kudumbashree is now exploring the scope of inflight catering, after it has marked its presence in retail food industry. A recent query from Air India has encouraged it to consider setting up an inflight kitchen, albe-it on a low scale.
A team of Kudumbashree officials visited some of the flight kitchens in the state for a study of the scenario. They found it would involve considerable investment. “A flight kitchen facility will require a minimum investment of 10 crore. It would not be viable if the idea is to cater to the needs of only one airline. Hence we are enquiring the scope of setting up a miniature version of a flight kitchen,” said Kudumbashree executive director K.B. Valsalakumari.
