Vegan Airplane Food: Emirates Now Offers Nearly 500 Different Plant-Based Recipes

Emirates is expanding its vegan airplane food options, now offering 488 plant-based meals on flights. The airline plans to launch a whole foods-focused menu next year, celebrating real, farm-to-fork plant foods. This expansion reflects a 60 percent increase in recipes since 2024, showing Emirates' dedication to vegan customers.

In addition to the current vegan menu, Emirates is developing new concepts for a plant-based menu focused on legumes, grains, nuts, seeds, and seasonal vegetables. The company aims to celebrate plants rather than replicate meat, drawing inspiration from cuisines that have always been plant-forward. London is among the top destinations with high demand for vegan airplane food, reflecting the growing interest in plant-based options among consumers worldwide.
