While there is often a limited amount of information that travelers can collect on the [inflight meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-meals1) that they are served, [Emirates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emirates-1) is looking to expand upon this by offering two new inflight entertainment channels centered around food and wine.

On these two new Food and Wine Channels, Emirates passengers will be able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the careful thought and planning that goes into the making of the onboard menus. On the Food Channel, people can expect to get a glimpse into everything from menu planning and ingredient sourcing to the process of actually bring the food onboard. On the Wine Channel, passengers will be able to gain insight into the strategy Emirates favors for [wine buying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-air-wine-tastings) and more.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Inflight Entertainment Channels:** Emirates' new Food and Wine Channels provide passengers with an inside look at the inflight meal planning process.
- **Menu Planning and Ingredient Sourcing:** The Food Channel offers a unique opportunity for airlines to showcase their culinary expertise and promote their use of locally sourced ingredients.

### Sectors Adopting This
