JAL and Mos Burger
Japan Airlines is to collaborate with Japanese burger chain Mos Burger, in the eighth installment of its AIR Series inflight service. It’s the third time the two companies have collaborated and following the successful introduction of Air Mos Burger (Teriyaki) and Air Mos Rice Burger in the past, JAL and Mos Burger have designed a JAL original version of the Air Mos Teriyaki egg burger that will be served onboard select routes from March 1 to May 31. The Air Mos Teriyaki egg burger is adapted from Mos Burger’s classic Teriyaki burger, sold since 1973. The patty is served with warm bread, fresh lettuce, and hard-boiled egg with mayonnaise. Customers can make their own burger, adding the egg and teriyaki to their liking. Air Mos Teriyaki egg burger will be served in Premium Economy and Economy during a second meal service on flights departing Tokyo (Narita) to New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, London, Paris and Frankfurt.
