The Indian civil aviation industry is one of the fastest-growing industries globally and is expected to overtake the UK in the coming years, due to this, the Food and hospitality businesses are also growing at airport promises. Therefore FSSAI has made it necessary for all Food businesses such as catering services, food courts, on board food services on its premises to have an FSSAI central license to commerce their businesses.
Because of such an aviation ecosystem, the food service industry on airport premises is also growing each year with high demand among commuters, making it necessary to maintain food safety and standard at airports.
FSSAI Food License [Sample]
Airport premises are described as shops, restaurants, hotels and food outlets at the airport and onboard food services in airlines; India has more than 130 airports where various businesses operate, from low tier hotels to catering services.
The aviation food industry is growing with the growth in the overall civil aviation industry, and to maintain the high standards of good quality food and the health of consumers, FSSAI came up with guidelines for all the food businesses to have a necessary FSSAI license for airport premises from FSSAI central licensing authority.
All food businesses, irrespective of their nature of businesses and turnovers, are allowed to carry out their operations on airport premises but to do that, they all need to have an FSSAI Central license from the central licensing authority of FSSAI.
FBOs can apply for FSSAI license on the FOsCos web portal in a few easy steps.
The application for the license can be filled online through the FSSAI portal in simple steps.
After that, an application reference number will be generated and provided to you to track the application status. You can track your application status using our FSSAI application status tool without any cost.
Within the next 7 days, FSSAI authorities will respond to your application, and if the application is rejected, then an inspection on your premise will be held by a FOOD SAFETY OFFICER.
After a satisfactory inspection of the food safety officer's premises and document verification, the authorities will give license clearance.
The license will be issued within 30 working days, which is mandatory to display during business hours by FBOs and on the food product for manufacturers.
The following documents are needed to submit for a new application permit from FSSAI Central Licensing Authority.
All the Food operators at airport premises need to have an FSSAI license from the Central licensing authority.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
