Qatar Airways has said it is celebrating the rollout of a ‘refreshed and refined’ premium in-flight dining service for First Class passengers on the airline’s intra-Gulf services.
The new First Class dining service will be served on a modern and contemporary platter made of fine bone china, showcasing curated and designed menus designed by Qatar Airways’ celebrated chefs specifically for intra-Gulf flights, which average one hour 30 minutes of flight time.
First Class passengers will enjoy hot and savoury snacks, a light salad, dessert and bread and butter, all served immediately after take-off as part of the ‘much-appreciated one-stop’ service, the Doha-based carrier has said in a statement. Tailored specifically for short intra-Gulf flights, the service “allows Qatar Airways’ passengers the First Class experience they have come to expect from the airline”, it adds.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said, “I’m thrilled to announce the introduction of a refreshed in-flight dining experience for our most valued and most frequent travellers. Intra-Gulf First Class passengers will continue to enjoy our award-winning service on board the leading airline in the Middle East, now with a more streamlined and contemporary in-flight dining service that is beautifully and elegantly presented.”
“We’re committed to being the leading airline and first choice for passengers in the region, and our refreshed First Class service is designed specifically for our passengers based on what they truly appreciate – fresh, delicious meals presented in a beautiful and thoughtful service.”
The refreshed service is available on Qatar Airways intra-Gulf flights between Doha and Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dammam, Dubai, Dubai World Central, Gassim, Hofuf, Kuwait City, Muscat, Ras al-Khaimah, Riyadh and Sharjah.
Qatar Airways senior vice-president Rossen Dimitrov added, “Our frequent flyers will appreciate the fresh approach we have taken to redesigning and refining the First Class on-board dining service.”
