Airplane meals
Airplane meals are meals served to passengers on civil aircraft during the flight.
Aircraft meals are ordered by the airlines and are usually provided by organizations designated to supply them, and are prepared near the airport and delivered directly to the aircraft, where they are placed on carts by the flight attendants and distributed to the passengers when the aircraft stabilizes in the middle of the flight.
Aircraft meals vary by class of seating, in terms of cuisine, portion size and cost.
First and business class meals try to mimic a fine dining restaurant in terms of food and eating procedures, but they are always different from a real restaurant.
The economy class meals are more similar to fast food, with efficiency of distribution, storage size and cost as the main considerations, and the taste of the food is certainly not something that passengers would expect from a restaurant.
Airplane meals will have a national standard in 2014, with a shelf life of no more than 36 hours.
