Not only will business-class holders be able to enjoy gourmet meals on-flight, but the menu has also expanded to the airport lounges. This will ensure that flyers from Paris to South Africa will savour the gourmet flavours of France one last time before their departure back home.

Travel News has reported that the new menu introductions included delicious additions such as haddock with a spiced carrot sauce and buckwheat risotto with parsley oil. Menus catering to vegetarians and other dietary needs have also been created, incorporating French seasonal produce and sustainably sourced products into their meal options.

With an inclusive, luxurious French-inspired menu on-flight, Air France ensures that patrons can enjoy a fine dining experience in the air.

IOL has stated that the airline has commented on the new menu additions on the flights from Paris to Johannesburg and Cape Town:

“To create these menus showcasing French fine dining, the chefs work together with Servair, the world leader in in-flight catering, using fresh, local produce that varies according to the season… In a responsible approach, the meat, poultry, milk products and eggs on each menu are of French origin, and the fish is sourced from sustainable fisheries.”
