Top airliner to withdraw ‘Hindu meal’ option from in-flight menu

Emirates, Dubai-based air carrier, released a statement saying the ‘Hindu meal’ option from its in-flight menu is withdrawn. However, Hindu passengers can still choose between vegetarian and non-vegetarian options from a host of meals tailored to local tastes, the airlines said.

The decision to withdraw the ‘Hindu meal’ option was taken after a review of its onboard products and services. Its updated menu now includes Vegetarian Jain Meal, Indian Vegetarian Meal, Kosher meal and Non-Beef non-vegetarian.

The statement further said, “We constantly review our offering, taking into consideration customer uptake and feedback. This helps us improve service efficiencies.”
