Mumbai, 1 April 2026: For travellers rushing through departures, a forgotten charger, a quick snack
or even a bottle of water can now be a tap away.
Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), India’s largest private airport operator, in partnership with Blinkit, India’s
leading quick commerce platform, has launched India’s first in-terminal quick commerce service at Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai. The service is now live at Terminal 2, domestic departures,
bringing app-based delivery directly into the airport experience.
Passengers can order essentials through the Blinkit app and have them delivered to their location within
the terminal, including boarding gates, lounges, the food court and select partner outlets. Deliveries
are carried out by trained on-ground personnel, ensuring a seamless and secure experience without
disrupting travel timelines.
AAHL Spokesperson said: “Adani Airports is reimagining how digital services can enhance the airport
experience. Bringing app-based convenience into the terminal allows passengers to make better use of
their time and raises the overall service standard. This is a step towards building more responsive and
passenger-centric airports.”
The offering spans travel accessories, electronics, snacks, books, baby care and personal essentials. Permissible
liquids such as packaged water, cold beverages and juices are sourced from approved in-terminal inventory, in line
with airport security protocols.
For Blinkit, the initiative extends quick commerce into a high-frequency, high-intent environment, driving deeper
online adoption and consumer penetration. For AAHL, it reflects a strategic push to enhance passenger convenience
while unlocking non-aeronautical growth through digitally enabled retail.
The service also brings a new level of accessibility and affordability to airport retail, giving
travellers more choice without the typical constraints of time and location.
With high passenger throughput at Terminal 2, the initiative addresses a familiar gap in the travel
journey, enabling access to essentials exactly when they are needed.
The rollout aligns with AAHL’s focus on building technology-led, passenger-centric airports, where
convenience, accessibility and seamless digital experiences define the journey.
