Etihad to offer organic first class dining

16 Mar 2012 by BusinessTraveller

Etihad Airways has partnered with Abu Dhabi Organics Farms to offer its first class passengers organic food products including eggs, vegetables and honey.

The carrier claims it is “the first internationally certified organic farming initiative in the UAE”, and says it plans to roll out the use of organic produce across all cabin classes.

Commenting on the new partnership Etihad’s chief commercial officer Peter Baumgartner said:

“We have always offered the freshest and healthiest foods available, but with this new partnership, our guests can even enjoy produce the same day it was harvested or even an egg the same day it was laid. Our ‘Farm-to-table’ initiative is again setting the ultimate inflight standards.”

The move follows the introduction of onboard chefs in Etihad’s first class cabins, along with a new Mezoon Grille menu in premium cabins (see online news December 6, 2011).
