Restaurant India News: Popeyes® Launches Its First Airport Store at Mumbai Airport, Terminal 2

Popeyes®, the iconic Louisiana-born fried chicken brand, has announced the launch of its first airport outlet at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Terminal 2. 

The opening marks a strategic step in the brand’s India expansion following its entry into the Mumbai market earlier this year in August.

“Airports have become critical touchpoints for brand discovery and repeat engagement. Airports are no longer just transit points, they are where brands are discovered. Launching at Mumbai T2 allows us to engage with a high-intent, high-frequency audience and take Popeyes® beyond the high street,” shared Sameer Khetarpal, CEO and MD, Jubilant FoodWorks Limited.

Launched in partnership with AMRL, the new store underscores Popeyes® focus on bringing its globally loved flavours to one of India’s busiest aviation gateways. 

“The launch of Popeyes® at CSMIA marks a significant milestone in AMRL’s F&B growth. Airports today are evolving into lifestyle destinations, and food & beverage plays a pivotal role in shaping that experience. Partnering with a globally iconic brand like Popeyes® aligns strongly with our vision of offering world-class choices to travellers,” added a spokesperson from AMRL.

Visitors at Mumbai T2 forecourt can now enjoy Popeyes® globally renowned favourites such as the Chicken Sandwich, Signature Fried Chicken, Boneless Chicken with international flavours, and a Hot & Messy range curated for the Indian palate. Staying true to its Louisiana Cajun heritage, all chicken is fresh, hand-battered, hand-breaded, and marinated for 12 hours to deliver bold, distinctive flavour.

The Popeyes® Mumbai T2 store is now open to travellers, offering dine-in and takeaway options for both domestic and international passengers.
