New Delhi: This is the most traditional Indian thing to make a debut on an airline after the sari worn by airhostesses of some carriers. Air India is going to start serving meals in thalis to passengers in business class of its domestic and international flights very soon, airline chairman Ashwani Lohani told TOI.
However in one departure from the tradition of thalis, AI will use "high quality" plastic thalis and not steel ones. "The food will be both veg and non veg," said Lohani, in relief to meat lovers who were recently told that AI will serve only veg meals on flights of up to 90 minutes from this year.
An intense competition had broken out in the full service space of India with the arrival of arrival of Tata-Singapore Airlines (SIA) JV Vistara. In fact the very day the Tata JV announced its brand name in November, 2014, and promised to offer "athithi devo bhava" service on that, Jet said it will turn all full service. Jet promised to have the "best domestic full-service product in India."
