American Airlines is expanding its vegan menu offerings by introducing a new plant-based scrambled egg dish made with Just Egg on select flights starting October 5. The dish, which also includes hash browns, vegan cheese, spinach, corn, and red pepper, will be available on morning flights between Los Angeles and New York in premium economy class. This decision comes after American Airlines added oat milk creamer to its beverage menu in 2024 following requests from over 140,000 PETA supporters.

Partnering with Eat Just, the company behind Just Egg, American Airlines is the first to offer a plant-based egg option on a transcontinental route. Eat Just CEO Josh Tetrick expressed pride in making healthier food options accessible even at 30,000 feet. Other airlines, such as United Airlines and Alaska Airlines, have previously included JUST Egg products on their in-flight menus. PETA President Tracy Reiman commended American Airlines for their new vegan offering, urging other airlines to follow suit and cater to the preferences of conscious travelers.
