Emirates to discontinue 'Hindu meal' option
Dubai-based Emirates Airlines have announced that they will no longer serve the ‘Hindu meal’ option on their aircrafts.
The airline issued an official statement and said that the decision was taken after a review of the onboard product and services. Following the review, the aforementioned option was shunted out of the in-flight menu.
“As part of our continuous review of the products and services available to customers, Emirates can confirm that it will discontinue the Hindu meal option. We constantly review our offering, taking into consideration customer uptake and feedback. This helps us improve service efficiencies,” Emirates said in its statement.
However, the airline also added that Hindu passengers would still have a wide variety of options to choose from which will also include regional meals.
“Food and drink form an integral part of any Emirates flight experience and our menus are created by leading chefs to reflect the culture and preferences of Emirates’ diverse customer base. Emirates will continue to provide meal options catering to a number of health and dietary requirements,” the statement further elucidated.
Also, the airline said that the passengers would still be able to book Jain meal, Indian vegetarian man, Kosher meal, and several other Non-Beef non-vegetarian cuisines.
“Hindu customers can order in advance from a wide variety of regionally-inspired vegetarian and special meals catering to specific dietary requirements, in all classes of travel… (including) options of religious meals like Vegetarian Jain Meal, Indian Vegetarian Meal, Kosher meals and Non-Beef non-vegetarian options as well,” the statement added.
