Hello Everyone
The cost of a food in Airport Restaurant are always high when compared to the normal Restaurant. A single Samosa in roadside shop is ₹10 (0.5 Steem). But in Airport it is in the price of ₹180 (9 Steem). 18 times higher than the normal price. Do you know why the price of the products in Airports is always high ???
There are five reasons for this high pricing. we will see that one by one.

SHOP RENT
Rent of the shops inside the Airport is always high. The Airport Authority always collects high rent from the shop owners as the shops are in direct contact with the peoples. After the ticket price income, the shop rent is also a major income to the Airport Authority.

HIGH OPERATING COST
The Shop owner having lot of daily maintainance work to keep the shop in perfect condition. They need to maintain the shop in good condition. They need to clean the shops frequently. As the shop is in the Airport mostly rich people will visit their shop. So they need to maintain in good condition and clean it regularly to maintain neatness. they also need to pay security cost as they were open 24 hours.
NO COMPETITION
Inside the Airport there are less number of shops only available. so there is only less number of competition inside Airport. If there is competition only they need to reduce the price to survive in the market. If there is no competition then they are free to set any price according to their desire.

FOOD NOT ALLOWED FROM OUTSIDE
The another major reason is that food carried by passengers from outside the Airport is not allowed inside the airport. As there is lot of checking when entering the Airport food from outside is not allowed take inside. So when we are hungry inside airport we have only options to buy inside Airport.

DIFICULTIES FOR SHOP OWNERS IN TAKING FOOD INSIDE AIRPORT
As like passengers, the shop owners also having lot of difficulties in taking food products inside the airport. They need to provide all the informations like what they are buying, where they are buying, etc., to the airport Authority. They also need to preserve the food in well hygiene condition it also increase the food cost.
These are major reasons for the high cost of food in Airport.
Thank you..
Well you point it well, but I also think these shops are actually targeting foreigners who are coming in.
Im not saying everyone using this means of transportation is financially stable, but those who used on frequent based are financially stable.
So buying at the airport is not much a big deal no matter the price.

All your points are valid my friend. When we are hunger inside the airport we have no option to go out and get food. The only option available is to buy inside the airport. That means both rich people and middle class people have only one option. Only difference is that the rich people do not think about money while eating but others think about money while eating.
