Abstract

As already noted in the previous work, “Nutrition on Aircrafts: a Menu Analysis (Part 1)”, the organization of passenger service for air transport consists not only in the transportation of passengers, but also in the organization of meals on board airliners. The assortment of dishes depends on many factors such as: budget of the airline, season, flight duration, class of service, departure time, national characteristics and category of passengers. In this paper, the menus of Nordwind Airlines and Azur Air are considered. The airline “Nordwind Airlines” at the stage of purchasing tickets offers its passengers the opportunity to form their diet from the proposed list of dishes for an additional fee. Typically, the list includes chicken dishes, meat dishes, pilaf and special nutrition (vegetarian nutrition and nutrition for children), there is also the option “Guaranteed nutrition”, which, depending on the duration of the flight, includes soft drinks; hot nutrition; Tea coffee. “Azur Air” Airlines in the standard package of services provides snacks during the flight or does not provide on-board nutrition at all. Nevertheless, there are several services with which you can receive ready-made culinary products for an additional fee. The airline cooperates with Fly Service LLC (St. Petersburg), which provides various catering services, including on board an airplane. The Restaurant on Board service is available only upon departure from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg). The information on the international rating according to the Skytrax World Airline Awards of the world according to the criterion of “Airline Catering” is presented.
