Today (October 13, 2020), Qatar Airways announced the launch of their first fully vegan range of gourmet dishes for premium customers. The new vegan menu will be part of the award-winning airline’s á la carte Business Class menu. The carefully curated vegan dishes use only the freshest local and internationally sourced ingredients and will be available on all flights departing Doha, as well as select in-bound flights. In Tuesday’s announcement, Qatar Airways’ Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said,
“We always strive to provide our customers with authentic and indulgent experiences in the skies. We are delighted to incorporate a vegan main course choice to our on-board menu, offering our passengers yet another lifestyle choice that redefines the expectations from a five-star airline.”
Qatar Airways’ new vegan menu has been designed with taste and sustainability at its heart. The menu includes flavorful dishes such as smoked moutabel, spiral courgettes and arrabbiata sauce, tofu and spinach tortellini, Asian barbecue tofu, noodles, scallions and shitake, fried tofu with vegetable turbine, cauliflower couscous and kalamata bruschetta as well as a chickpea omelet.

QACC operates a 69,000 square meter facility, one of the largest self-contained catering facilities in the world.
