Inside one of the world's biggest airline food factories

Inside one of the world's biggest airline food factories

Love them or loathe them, airline meals turn 97 years old this year. That's an awful lot of chicken or fish. The first was served back in 1919 on a Handley Page flight from London to Paris where, sensibly, they chose to serve only sandwiches and fruit. Almost a century later the scale of airline meals is staggering, nowhere more so than at the Emirates Flight Catering facility in Dubai.The airline, one of the world's largest, prepares up to 180,000 meals every day for more than 400 daily flights to 142 destinations.

Some 65% of all the airline's meals are made in Dubai. The rest come from its catering stations around the globe, with 24 in the Asia Pacific region alone.
