MEAL pre-orders will be available from 1st March and will give cus- tomers the chance to order fresh meals before their flight through United Airlines website and mobile app. This will ensure United Airlines customers get the meals they want while improving catering efficiency as well as supporting efforts to re- duce food waste by minimising un- consumed fresh retails items. The Airline will still offer their signature snack boxes, packaged snacks and beverages available to purchase onboard. Aaron McMillan, Managing Director of Hospitality at United said, ““Pre- ordering is a win for everyone – cus- tomers board the plane knowing they’ll get the meal they want*, our catering partners know exactly how much food to prepare for each flight and it helps our operation run even more smoothly and reduce food waste.” He also added that the airline will continue to invest in improvements to their onboard food and beverage programme focusing on “Quality, consistency and customer choice.”
