Health-Conscious Meal Options:

With the passengers’ growing focus for healthier food intake, the catering market tends to offer healthy meals. The increasing fitness culture, food nutrition education, health trends, and teaching have all made it mandatory for the airlines to offer meals of different categories and preferences which include vegan, gluten-free, low carb, and organic meals. Accordingly, these meals contribute to the health of travellers and are in accordance with the ongoing global transformation into healthier meals and more sustainable ways of eating. Instead, to achieve nutritional balance, airlines are incorporating more fresh and locally produced ingredients alongside reducing the amount of processed foods in the meals offered. The other present concern is also that there is growing concern on the improving healthiness of the meals served on board especially with respect to the minimizing of sugar, salt and unhealthy fat content. Faster and healthier alternate forms of meals which are well enhanced nutritionally are also made available for the passengers by the airlines in view of health problems posed by the traveling eaters and the need to enhance quality of services rendered. This development also addresses the needs of a more diverse and health-conscious clientele and further demonstrates the airlines' resolve towards looking after portions of their passengers in a more satisfying manner.
