Organic inflight dining

ETIHAD Airways announced an exclusive partnership with Abu Dhabi Organics Farms, the first internationally certified organic farming initiative in the UAE, to supply fresh organic produce on a daily basis for its inflight First Class dining menus. A range of fresh food products, from eggs to vegetables to honey, will be served onboard.
Established in 1997 by Khalid Al Shamsi, an Emirati national passionate about organic living, the farm meets highest international quality standards and follows best practice of sustainable farming. "We are immensely proud to become a supplier for Etihad Airways and to know that our produce will be flown across the world and enjoyed by their guests," Mr Al Shamsi said.Etihad Airways first class chefs will begin to incorporate these fresh ingredients in their onboard service. Plans to launch the farm-to-table concept across all cabin classes are currently underway."We have always offered the freshest and healthiest foods available, but with this new partnership, our guests can even enjoy produce the same day it was harvested or even an egg the same day it was laid," Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways' chief commercial officer, said. "Our ‘farm-to-table' initiative is again setting the ultimate inflight standards."Nike Blazer High
