Over 550 European travellers and
bloggers took part as food critics
in flight comparison site
Skyscanner’s second annual study of
the quality of on-board culinary
offerings.
In the low-cost airline category,
Turkish airline Pegasus, which
operates flights from London to many
destinations in Turkey, took the
number one position.
British airlines dominated the
leader board, with Flybe in second
place, Monarch in third, and Easyjet
in fourth place. Spanish airline
Vueling also scored highly, taking
thenumber five spot.
In the short-haul category it was
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) that
triumphed. Germany’s Lufthansa came
in second place and last year’s
winner Turkish Airlines took third
place ahead of British Airways,
while Russia’s Aeroflot also ranked
well, coming in fifth place.
In the long-haul dining category,
Dutch airline KLM claimed the number
one position, followed by Aeroflot,
SAS, Air France and BA. Overall, SAS,
Aeroflot and British Airways
performed well, each appearing in
the top five for both their long and
short haul meals.
A Skyscanner survey of more than
1,500 international travellers also
revealed that 54 per cent of air
travellers believe the overall
quality of airline food is currently
good, while three-quarters think
that it is improving compared with
previous years.
In fact, airline food now appears to
be so good that 43 per cent admitted
to being envious of their
neighbour’s choice of meal.
