Overview
Airplane food evolved from luxury dining to mass-produced fare shaped by economics, logistics, and science of taste at altitude.
Takeaways
  • Economic regulations and cost-cutting after deregulation transformed airline meals from elaborate multi-course experiences into primarily premium-class offerings, with cost scrutiny down to individual olives.
  • Culinary innovation now addresses technical challenges: recipes must endure chilling, reheating, and the blunting of taste buds due to dry, pressurized cabins, pushing chefs like Molly Brandt to recalibrate flavors without relying solely on salt.
  • Ensuring passenger safety sets strict controls on sourcing, preparation, and logistics. Gate Gourmet, serving millions globally, implements procedures to avoid contamination, with special meals for pilots and food disposal after delays.
