"With the volume we serve on board, the use of special meals prepared in advance guarantees the highest level of precision and prevents us from serving customers with foods they can not consume.

Although the food has a shelf life of up to a year, it does not necessarily mean that your meal in flight will be as old; it may not be as fresh as a regular meal.
