Air India, India’s leading global airline, is celebrating the spirit of Durga Puja with a specially curated festive menu that brings the warmth, flavours and nostalgia of Bengal to guests flying out of Kolkata. Available on flights departing the city between Pujo season, the menu pays homage to one of India’s most beloved festivals through a selection of authentic Bengali favourites.
Durga Puja is as much a celebration of food as it is of faith, family and togetherness. Inspired by the festive feasts that define the season, Air India’s special menu offers guests a taste of Pujo in the skies. The spread features cherished classics such as Luchi and Koraishutir Kachuri, paired with Sada Aloo Bati Chorchori, while much-loved Kolkata favourites including Kosha Mangsho Kathi Roll and Veg Kobiraj bring the unmistakable flavours of the city on board. Rich and comforting preparations such as Murghir Kalia and Potoler Dorma evoke the essence of a traditional Bengali meal, while Pantua and Chanar Payesh provide the perfect sweet ending to the festive experience.
Air India is extending the festive spirit beyond the city and into the skies. Whether guests are returning home for Pujo or carrying memories of the celebrations onward in their travels, the menu is designed to make every journey a little more special and a little more familiar.
The Durga Puja menu forms part of Air India’s wider festive culinary programme this season, which also includes specially curated Navratri meals on select flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, as well as festive offerings across Air India lounges in Delhi and Mumbai.
This initiative reflects Air India’s ongoing commitment to enriching the travel experience by celebrating India’s diverse culinary traditions and cultural heritage. By bringing regional festivals and flavours on board, Air India continues to combine world-class hospitality with the warmth and familiarity of home, making every journey a celebration.
