Mumbai: Tian of chicken with Waldorf salad, mozzarella caprese in pesto
sauce, seared jalapeno fish fillet, ratatouille lasagne and baked
blueberry cheese cake... we aren't quoting from the menu of some plush
Bandra eatery, you'll get all this and more on the Air India
international flights henceforth (first and business class only).
The reason for upgrading from a few chappatis, dal, rice and vegetables, a juice pack and a rasgulla dumped in trays to a gourmet menu was necessitated after Air India yesterday joined Star Alliance, the world's largest network of airlines with 27 members (see below).
The airline on Friday revamped its menu after nearly a decade, and has offered a 'table set up' meals to the first class and business class flyers. The Air India chairman and managing director, Rohit Nandan, said that food will be served in courses, and the cabin crew is being trained to plate the menu.
