Korean Air has announced the introduction of a new Korean-style vegan meal option for passengers on international flights departing from Korea, starting from March 1st.
This eco-friendly meal option is inspired by traditional temple cuisine and features fresh vegetables and seasonal ingredients. The menu includes dishes including steamed barley rice with burdock, roasted shiitake mushrooms, mung bean jelly salad, and roasted tofu with plum salsa sauce, among others. Ginkgo nut porridge and roasted yam with soybean paste will also be available for Business Class - known as Prestige and First Class passengers.
Passengers can pre-order the Korean vegan meal option up to 24 hours prior to their flight's departure through Korean Air's website, mobile application, or service centre. The airline also provides five other types of vegetarian meal options, including lacto-ovo vegetarian, East Asian vegetarian, Hindu vegetarian, Jain vegetarian, and raw vegetarian.
In addition to the new vegan meal option, Korean Air will also introduce a new selection of inflight wines curated in collaboration with Marc Almert, the "World's Best Sommelier 2019." The airline's wine selection will now include diverse wines from other European countries and continents, expanding beyond traditional French wines. The new wine selection will first be offered on the airline's Los Angeles, New York, and Paris routes, and will gradually be added to all routes throughout the year.
Many airlines - including Emirates and Japan's ANA - have also introduced vegan menus.
