British Airways launches plant-based menus at airport lounges

British Airways is introducing plant-based menus at airport lounges. The airline said the new food offering – which includes a burger – will initially be available at its Heathrow lounges before appearing at US airports. It is part of BA’s efforts to boost its sustainability. At Heathrow, the carrier has installed water stations and is replacing plastic water bottles with glasses. It aims to remove single-use plastic across its business. An initiative enabling passengers to use their phone to order food delivered to their table was introduced due to the coronavirus pandemic and will remain in use. British Airways also pledged to make its onboard food and drinks offering “more akin to one that customers would have experienced pre-pandemic”. From next month, passengers travelling in Club Europe cabins can expect “a more premium service with new delicious menus with more options”, it said. The airline also promised “exciting changes” to its long-haul catering.<br/>
