After Australia's national carrier copped criticism for moving away from always having a vegetarian meal option on its flights, it now says the meals are back on the menu.
Vegetarians will be better catered for on Qantas flights after the airline brings back more meal options on its domestic flights.Qantas appears to have backflipped on a decision not to provide vegetarian meals on many of its domestic routes following backlash on social media.
At the time, Qantas said the carrier had made some changes to its onboard food and service offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic.A spokesperson said on shorter flights, Qantas provided a single meal/snack option per flight and that this was in order to "simplify service delivery for crew members".They said this sometimes meant vegetarians may be offered a small vegetarian snack, rather than a meal.
“We’ve heard the message loud and clear about having vegetarian offerings on all of our flights and so we’re making that change as a priority,” Qantas Executive Manager of Product and Service, Phil Capps, said.
