DOHA, Qatar July 9 2018 – Qatar Airways has revealed a series of enhancements to its Economy Class on-board menus, designed to elevate customers’ experience when they travel with the award-winning airline.

The new enhancements, which will become available in a phased introduction across the airline’s network from 1 July, include an increase of 25 per cent in content for all Economy Class hot meals served on board. Newly-designed and larger casserole dishes have also been created and coupled with covers depicting brightly coloured artwork.

We have carefully crafted new dishes through collaborating with our global network of caterers to provide our customers with an authentic and indulgent experience in the skies.

The new concepts include newly-designed tableware, in-flight dining menus, chinaware and cutlery that were specially created to meet customers’ high expectations for fine dining in the sky. The enhanced signature dishes and in-flight menus also feature regional influences and locally sourced produce based on route destinations and in alignment with the four seasons.
