Gulf carrier Emirates has now decided to continue serving 'Hindu meal' on its flights based on the customer feedback. Earlier, Emirates Airlines had decided to discontinue the 'Hindu Meal' saying that Hindu customers can choose from a variety of "regionally-inspired vegetarian and special meals". The Dubai-based carrier operates a substantial number of flights to various Indian cities.
"We constantly review our offering, taking into consideration customer uptake and feedback. This helps us improve service efficiencies," an airline spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson said its Hindu customers can order in advance from a wide variety of regionally-inspired vegetarian and special meals catering to specific dietary requirements in all classes of travel.
"Emirates also offers options of religious meals like Vegetarian Jain Meal, Indian Vegetarian Meal, Kosher meals and Non-Beef non-vegetarian options as well," the spokesperson added.
However, in an official statement released by the airlines, Emirates confirmed that they would continue to provide Hindu meal options to make it easier for their valuable Indian customers.
The airline used to provide the option of 'Non-Vegetarian Hindu Meal' for passengers who follow Hindu customs.
This meal is not vegetarian and prepared in Indian culinary style. It may contain lamb, chicken, fish, eggs, milk, dairy products, and cereals. It does not contain veal, beef or beef by-products, or raw or smoked fish, according to an earlier link to the airline's website.
Now, the carrier offers Vegetarian Jain Meal, Indian Vegetarian Meal and Kosher Meal, among other options.
The airline has flights to Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kochi. Kolkata and Thiruvananthapuram, according to its website.
