In a groundbreaking move, Borécha, India’s premier Kombucha brand, has joined forces with Akasa Air, the nation’s fastest-growing airline, to introduce Kombucha to the skies, making Akasa Air the first Indian airline to offer this probiotic beverage as part of its in-flight dining experience.
Passengers travelling with Akasa Air can now savour Borécha’s probiotic Mango Kombucha, adding a healthy and refreshing twist to their journey. The introduction of Kombucha aligns with Akasa Air’s commitment to enhancing the in-flight dining experience by providing passengers with a diverse array of dietary options.
Borécha’s Mango Kombucha, renowned for its delicious taste and gut-friendly properties, is now available for purchase on all Akasa Air flights. This innovative offering allows travellers to enjoy a flavorful and nutritious beverage that complements Café Akasa’s extensive menu.
Passengers have the convenience of purchasing Borécha’s Kombucha on board during their flight. Additionally, for those who prefer to plan ahead, the probiotic beverage can be pre-booked through Akasa Air’s website and mobile app, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable inflight dining experience.
This initiative can encourage other airlines to follow suit, promoting a broader shift towards more conscious and responsible in-flight service. As passengers increasingly prioritise well-being and environmental concerns, embracing kombucha is a step in the right direction to meet these evolving expectations and enhance the overall travel experience.
Commenting on the partnership, Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing & Experience Officer, Akasa Air, said, “At Akasa Air, we are continuously evaluating customer feedback to offer an inflight experience that aligns with their evolving needs and expectations. Modern day customers are becoming increasingly conscious of their food choices, and we are delighted to partner with Borécha to become the first Indian airline to serve Kombucha, a probiotic drink on board. As a healthier alternative for soft drinks, Kombucha has become extremely popular for its distinct taste and probiotic properties. We hope that travellers will appreciate the choice of enjoying the delicious and healthy beverage while they immerse themselves into the warm Akasa Air experience.”
Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Borecha, Mr. Ishan Varshnei, stated “Empowering individuality through healthier choices, Borécha leads a hydration revolution. Starting with the airline industry, where healthy options are scarce, Borécha and Akasa Air’s partnership will liberate travellers by offering delicious functional beverages onboard, transforming the way we hydrate.”
As Borécha and Akasa Air take flight together, the future of in-flight dining in India appears brighter, healthier, and more exciting than ever before.
