Good news for passengers who fly Air India. The airline has introduced refreshed in-flight food and beverage menus across cabins on all international flights (ex-India) on Monday, as part of its ongoing efforts to improve the customer experience.
According to the airline’s press release, the menu refresh is based on guest feedback. It is intended to offer travellers a variety of gourmet meals, trendy appetisers, decadent desserts, and showcase India’s locally sourced culinary influence while staying in line with the healthy eating trend.
The airline’s bar menu now includes a variety of premium spirits as well as a carefully curated wine list that includes fine French and Italian wines.
Sandeep Verma, Air India’s Head of Inflight Services said “We have put a lot of thought and energy into our new menus as part of our ongoing effort to improve the Air India experience for guests. We want our passengers to enjoy their food and beverages on Air India flights in the same way they would at their favourite restaurants.”
He further added “While designing the new menus, our underlying focus has been on ensuring that they include nutritious options that are delicious, as well as incorporating contemporary, sustainable practices,”.
To create an elevated dining experience aboard Air India, a team of in-house experts, catering partners, and multiple suppliers was assembled.
New Vegan additions: Vegan customers can now choose from a variety of delicious plant-based meal options such as Subz Seekh Kebab, Thai Red Curry with Tofu and Vegetables, Broccoli and Millet Steak, and Lemon Sevaiyan Upma, Medu Wada, and Masala Uttapam.
New ideas for main and light meals: The new breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus for all classes include a mix of fusion dishes and classics such as Mushroom Scrambled Egg, Turmeric Chilli Omelette, Mixed Vegetable Paratha, Achari Paneer and Emmenthal Sandwich in Multigrain Bread, Grilled Prawns in a Fennel Cream Sauce, Murgh Rezala Kofta, Murgh Elaichi Korma and Classic Chilli Chicken.
Delightful dessert: Dessert options on Air India include Mango Passionfruit Delight, Quinoa Orange Kheer, Espresso Almond Crumble Mousse Cake, Khajur Tukda with Kesar Phirni, Single Origin Chocolate Slice, Chum-Chum Sandwich with Blueberry Sauce, and a seasonal fruit selection.
Menu for the bar: Passengers on board will be able to indulge in sophistication with Air India’s bar menu, which includes Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut champagne and wines from the renowned vineyards of Château de l’Hestrange, Les Oliviers, Chateau Milon, and the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. In addition, the new beverage menu includes a selection of premium brand whiskies, gin, vodka, and beers.
The ideal combination: From the sparkling effervescence of fruity blends to the aromatic zest of spices, Air India’s mocktail selection of Virgin Mary, California Orange, Apple Spritzer, and juices would provide an array of flavours to complement the fine dining experience. A freshly brewed cup of coffee (Classic Coffee Blend and Cappuccino) or tea (Assam, Green, Earl Grey, and Masala) would also be available for customers who like to unwind with a hot beverage.
