Oman Air launches new à la carte in-flight menus

The airline has designed separate menus for its First Class, Business Class and Economy Class. Each uses the finest seasonal ingredients, draws on both Arabic and European influences and combines contemporary and traditional elements.

Oman Air’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Hill says: “We are delighted to be launching these delicious new menus and I am sure that our customers will be impressed. We have worked hard, together with in-flight catering specialists Gate Gourmet, to create menus that offer the very best seasonal produce, fantastic flavours, with a selection and a variety to suit every palate.
 
“These new menus underline Oman Air’s commitment to offering customers the very best of everything that air travel has to offer and they perfectly complement the outstanding comfort, space, products and services offered on our aircraft.”
  
Gerhard Engleitner , Oman Air’s Manager of In-Flight Menu Development, adds: “Our First and Business Class services offer a great selection of dishes, both European and Arabic in flavour. We have found that couples travelling together will often share their meals. One has a European meal and the other the Arabic selection, and they happily swap half way.
 
“Our European meals are designed so there should be something for everyone, including a lovely French caviar - but for that you have to join us in First Class.”
 
First Class and Business Class meals are served on specially-designed, full size plates, with elegant cutlery and glassware more usually associated with fine restaurants than with air travel.
 
Gerhard Engleitner continues: “In Economy Class, we offer a three-course meal: a light appetizer, followed by a choice of three main courses, including one dish with an Arabic twist and a vegetarian option, with a dessert to finish.”
 
Oman Air’s new menus are launched in June aboard the airline’s daily, direct, non-stop service from London Heathrow to Muscat .
