Vegan airplane food looks set to hit new heights after Qatar Airways announced it was to introduce a new plant-based menu with items sourced from local organic farms in Qatar.
Exclusive to passengers travelling with the airline in Business Class, the menu will showcase tasty green options such as a new Super Food Salad that is created using organic ingredients sourced from Safwa, a Qatari farm. But even before hungry travellers tuck into their dinner, they will be greeted by drinks curated by Doha’s renowned vegan café, Evergreen Organics.
The menu coincides with horticultural event, Expo 2023 Doha, that is taking place in Al Bidda Park in the Qatari capital until March 2024. Not to be confused with the recent EXPO 2020 Dubai or EXPO 2030 Riyadh, the global botanical event will feature an array of experiences aimed at promoting more sustainable and green practices in the world including beautiful gardens, talks, art, cuisine, and a special emphasis on innovative approaches to combat desertification.
But if you are not travelling business don’t worry, as Qatar Airways will make sure Economy Class travellers will enjoy the EXPO festivities with desserts being adorned by a chocolate disk displaying Expo 2023 Doha’s logo as well as a dedicated Expo Channel will allow passengers to watch more than 30 gardening-related shows including Homegrown, Martha Knows Best, Learning From Nature, Container Garden, Agritech and the Future of Farming, How to Save a City, The Future of Water, The Plastic Predicament, Vegetable Garden, and many more.
