Alliance Air to charge for food

Alliance Air, a 100 per cent subsidiary of Air India, will charge for meals on board from March 22. Water will, however, be provided free of charge to all passengers. The rate for packaged food will vary from ₹40 to ₹100, sources said. The airline operates 24 daily flights, including linking Delhi to Port Blair and Delhi to Bhubaneswar. The idea of charging for food was first introduced on limited number of flights operated by Alliance last year.
