10 million meals at 30,000 feet

Virgin Atlantic serves a lot of meals in the sky. So it came to us for help on how to make sure they’re sustainable. In partnership with our friends at the Sustainable Restaurant Association, we developed a comprehensive sustainable food programme which aims to ensure all on-board food and drink is sourced fairly and sustainability. So far, we’ve achieved some great results, such as working with Fairtrade India to set up the first Indian Fairtrade banana cooperative, switching to MSC certified fish across the Caribbean and introducing our Beijing and South African caterers to higher welfare pork and beef producers.
