Lufthansa launches new catering concept for European flights
Lufthansa Economy Class passengers on European flights can now choose from a range of high-quality “Onboard Delights.”
The culinary assortment is available on cross-border European flights with a duration of 60 minutes.
Based in Munich, dean&david is known for outstanding quality and a sense of responsibility. The company produces healthy food, high-quality ingredients and sustainable consumption. ‘Food that not only tastes good, but also feels good’.
At Lufthansa’s Frankfurt and Munich hubs, the dishes are prepared daily by the catering company, Gate Gourmet, all according to recipes from dean&david, a successful young gastronomy company.
Lufthansa is also expanding its long-standing cooperation with the coffee house, Dallmayr.
The traditional Munich-based company will supply the confectionery and patisserie specialties, as well as the hot beverages, for Onboard Delights.
The products on offer include a special Ethiopian coffee whereby the proceeds are linked to support various humanitarian projects in the Dano region .
In addition, there is a large selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as numerous snacks.
Fresh food is available from 5.50 euros, coffee and tea for 3 euros, soft drinks (500 ml) or beer (330 ml) for 3.50 euros. Small snacks are available from 2 euros. A water bottle and a ‘chocolate surprise’ will be served to guests free-of-charge.
The selection of fresh products is updated every three months. The service concept in Business Class remains unchanged. In order to meet hygiene requirements on board, payment will be made exclusively without cash.
With a tradition going back more than 300 years, Dallmayr is one of the best-known German brands of coffee.
Lufthansa claims:
[We place] a great amount of importance on sustainability.
The focus is on the consistent selection of food produced in a resource-saving manner and environmentally-friendly packaging materials.
For example, a large proportion of the fresh products are packaged in PaperWise material, made from agricultural waste material and produced using 100 percent renewable energy and is therefore CO2-neutral. By producing the fresh products in a way that is more in line with the demand, less unused food has to be disposed.
