British Airways could scrap free meals on long-haul flights
British Airways could start charging for meals on long-haul flights, the airline's boss has revealed. In September it was announced BA would scrap free meals for economy flights in favour of Marks & Spencer salads and sandwiches. And now the airline's boss, Alex Cruz, has said it could start charging passengers on long-haul flights for their meals, risking claims it is penny-pinching. BA has come under fire from passengers who have said they have been unable to buy food on short-haul flights because stocks have fallen too low. Cruz, however, insisted: "It’s going great. Customers say to us: ‘Finally, I have good choices. No more chicken or beef’.” Cruz insisted that the airline would regain its reputation as "the best in Britain and the best in Europe" within 2 years. <br/>
