Korean Air Debuts New In-Flight Vegan Meal Option

Korean Air has introduced a new in-flight vegan meal option inspired by traditional temple cuisine. This eco-friendly meal features fresh, seasonal ingredients such as steamed barley rice, roasted shiitake mushrooms, mung bean jelly salad, and roasted tofu with plum salsa. Passengers in Prestige or First class can also enjoy ginkgo nut porridge and roasted yam with soybean paste, depending on the route and season.

This new vegan meal option is in response to the growing demand for plant-based meal options among travelers. Other airlines, such as Alaska Airlines and Emirates, have also added vegan meal options to their menus recently. Passengers flying Korean Air can pre-order their vegan meals up to 24 hours before departure through the airline's website, mobile app, or service center. With a rotating menu of vegan options, Korean Air is committed to providing more plant-based fare for its passengers in the future.
