Consumer behaviour in air travel has evolved significantly over the years, reflecting changing preferences and expectations. Today there is a growing emphasis on health and wellness, with passengers prioritising nutritious meals and access to healthier food options. Research has shown that 78 per cent of passengers now prioritise nutritional value and freshness in their in-flight meals, a significant increase from 52 per cent in 2019.
