Other airlines have also looked to food and dining experiences as a way to make money during the coronavirus pandemic, when flights have been grounded and travel has been limited.
In September, Thai Airways opened its own pop-up restaurant using its in-flight menu. Though the pop-up wasn’t inside an actual airplane, the airline did use seats from its planes.
Last month, British Airways started selling meal kits inspired by its first class menu that fans can make for themselves at home.
