Those fasting during Navratri need not fret over availability of abstinence food on a flight. Airlines are making efforts to provide fliers with food fit for consuming during the auspicious festival.
Navratri, a festival of dance and revelry, also requires devotees to fast for nine days with only selected food items allowed to be eaten.
National carrier Air India is offering its fasting passengers, who are flying from Mumbai to Delhi, Lucknow and Varanasi a special menu that includes fruits, sabudana wadas and potato dishes.
Similarly, low-cost carrier SpiceJet has started offering 'Navratra Special Thali' which is available for pre-booking on Boeing flights of over 75 minutes. "You can pre-book SpiceJet's Navratra Special Thali 48 hours before the scheduled departure time of your flight. The food that is served as part of the special thali will be perfect for those fasting. It will be prepared using Sendha namak," said a SpiceJet spokesperson.
