The work of the crew serving on board the aircraft is a task that requires great responsibility and high concentration. For the same reason, the rules of their nutrition are also special. Each dish is prepared according to strict standards and safety requirements.
For each pilot — individual menu
For safety reasons, each pilot is offered a separate menu. This rule is necessary in order to avoid unforeseen situations: if the health of one pilot is affected by food, the other can continue to work.
What does the pilot eat?
The pilot's menu consists of nutritious and easily digestible foods:
- Hot dish (for example, chicken with a side dish)
- Salad, bread, dessert
- Juice, water, tea, coffee
On long flights (6-8 hours or more), two meals are organized: breakfast and lunch.
Food of flight attendants
Flight attendants first serve passengers, and only then feed themselves. Their diet will include products with a low salt content that will help maintain energy for a long time.
Kitchen under control
Food for the crew is stored separately, prepared individually and subjected to additional inspection. This is one of the main requirements that ensure quality and safety.
Long and night flights
On long flights, additional food and sweets are provided. And on Night Flights, the crew is offered hot food poured into a thermos — this will warm them up and help them regain strength.
Interesting facts
The crew menu is planned in advance and does not contain arachis. This is an important measure to be taken to prevent allergic reactions.
Thus, the nutrition system of the aircraft crew is not just a menu, it is an important part that affects the safety and quality of flight
