Air India Stops Serving Non-Vegetarain meals on All Domestic Flights

Air India is looking at saving around Rs 8 crore every year by not serving non-vegetarian food in economy class on all domestic flights, senior officials.Non-vegetarian meals will continue to be served in business as well as executive class on both domestic and international flights.

"We have made it veg only to reduce both wastage and cost," which was implemented in mid-June, will help avoid mix-up of non-veg and veg meals apart from cutting wastage and cost said Air India chairman and managing director Aswani Lohani.

It also eliminates the possibility of mix-up: a non-veg meal getting served to a vegetarian passenger, as it had happened a few times in the past.The national carrier that spends Rs 400 crore on catering every year, has also seen the number of passengers opting for veg meals grow. Generally, 70 per cent vegetarian meals and 30 percent non-vegetarian meals.
