IDEAS: Emirates Expands Vegan Catering Options on Flights
Emirates is set to introduce a selection of new vegan dishes onboard its aircraft and at lounges later this year, due to a 40% increase in customer demand for plant-based meals.
The carrier saw over 450,000 plant-based meals served onboard in 2023 - an increase from 280,000 in 2022 - with the biggest increase in vegan meal consumption seen in Economy Class.
The new additions to the menu will join more than 300 vegan recipes that are already available in rotation across 140 destinations, and will feature a selection of options from well-known global brands including Beyond Meat, Pantai and Linnolat, amongst others.
