British Airways has made a multi-million-pound investment in new in-flight menu on all flights from London Gatwick.

The catering offering update is part of the airline’s £6.5bn investment for customers. It covers both its short- and long-haul routes across all cabins.

The airline has teamed up with French out-of-home restaurant specialist Newrest Group, who will work with suppliers in the south of England.

On long-haul cabins, the new food will be served in World Traveller (economy), World Traveller Plus (premium economy), Club World (business) and First.

On short-haul services, the new food will be served in Club Europe (business).

British Airways brand and customer experience director Carolina Martinoli said: “This is the latest development in continuously improving our catering. We’re incredibly proud of this new offering, and we hope our customers enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed developing it.”
