This popular Indian airline to end free meal scheme

Jet Airways, which is battling financial woes will stop serving free meals to customers who book flights under its 'economy light' and 'economy deal' options from September 28 onwards. However, not all is lost as yet with complimentary beverage service including tea and coffee being continued for all passengers.

After making the in-flight meal optional, the airline said flyers will not only be able to avail competitive low fares but have the opportunity to buy meals from a specially curated on-board menu.
 

"You can choose from vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, including hot meal options on select flights and pay using debit or credit cards," said a statement from the airline.
