Gourmet Airplane Menus

The New Qatar Airways Menu is Revamped for Business Class Flyers

— July 6, 2015 — World
Qatar Airways teamed up with globally established chefs Nobu Matsuhisa and Vineet Bhatia to elevate the dining experience for airplane passengers. The new menu was unveiled just last month.

The items on the menu include some fancy bubbly drinks like Billecart Salmon Brut champagne and Met James Cluer. These carefully selected beverages were hand-picked by Qatar Airways' Master of Wine, who chose the bubbly beverages to accommodate for high altitude-altered palates.

This menu includes braised lamb shank with chickpea and saffron sauce, parsley mashed potato and roasted root vegetables, as well as Arabic spiced prawns with machboos sauce, rice and fried onions and nuts. With dishes like these, airplane food might become a thoroughly sought-after meal. The dishes were challenging to create due to the inconsistency of ingredients from various locations in different countries.
Trend Themes
1. Elevated Airplane Dining - Opportunity for airlines to partner with renowned chefs and curate gourmet menus that enhance the dining experience for passengers.
2. High Altitude Beverages - Potential for beverage experts to develop and recommend specific drinks that are optimized for enjoyment at high altitudes.
3. Challenges in Airplane Food - Possibility for culinary experts to innovate and overcome the limitations of inconsistent ingredients from different locations.
Industry Implications
1. Airlines - Airlines can embrace the trend of elevated airplane dining by collaborating with renowned chefs to offer exceptional dining experiences.
2. Beverage Industry - Beverage experts can capitalize on the trend of high altitude beverages by creating drinks specifically designed to be enjoyed during air travel.
3. Food Service - Food service providers can tackle the challenge of creating quality airplane meals by developing innovative solutions to overcome ingredient inconsistencies.
