NEW YORK: Air India New York invited Media Partners to “Air India’s New Summer 2015 Inflight Menu Presentation” on Wednesday March 25 at Flying Food inflight caterers, at JFK International Airport. Regional Manager-Americas Rishikant Singh and members of his team welcomed the invitees.
Samples of the menu in all three classes of service were on display for inspection.
James Ball, Flying Food Group VP Sales & Services, and Intiaz Yasin, Accounts Manager for Air India, along with their team of talented chefs were on hand to describe and present the variety of items served inflight, and described the entire process of food preparation and quality control.
Air India has been known for its onboard cuisine, and for the gracious hospitality with which it is served.
