These outlets form a platform for marketing local products directly to the customers. An area of 100-200 square feet has been earmarked at each AAI operated airport.

The products of Self Help Groups get exposed to the national market, strengthen the local artisan community and provide sufficient promotional avenues to their products, the news portal reported.
