The frugal, free snack box distributed to passengers onboard Air India Express aircraft has now become a thing of the past with the airline replacing it with new luxury gourmet dining on international and domestic routes at an ‘affordable’ price.
With the recent integration of two low-cost subsidiary airlines — Air India Express and AirAsia India – the airline introduced a harmonised in-flight menu offering a wide range of vegetarian, pescetarian, poultry, eggetarian, vegan, Jain, healthy and diabetic options for passengers.
Speaking to The Hindu, an airline source said it has now introduced the new in-flight ‘Gourmair’ offering a variety of exquisite dishes to capture the essence of regional culinary traditions in the country for its passengers without burning a hole on the pockets of budget travellers. This is also part of upgrading the in-flight experience as the previous snack box was not deemed much attractive.
