Airplane food is pre-packaged cuisine designed for convenience and mass service during flights. It typically includes components like a protein dish (such as chicken, beef, or vegetarian options), a starch (rice, pasta, or potatoes), a salad or side, bread roll, dessert, and occasionally a snack or appetizer. These meals often span a range of international cuisines, but preparation and flavor are adapted for high-altitude conditions, where taste perception is altered. Nutritional aspects vary significantly: they may include high sodium levels, preservatives for shelf stability, and limited fresh ingredients. While some airlines prioritize healthier options with reduced added sugars and fats, others offer calorie-dense comfort foods. Passengers can often request meals suited to dietary needs, such as vegan, kosher, or gluten-free. Due to logistical constraints, airplane food aims for balance but may lack the nutritional density and freshness found in home-cooked meals.
