Air France has introduced new meal boxes for Business Class passengers travelling on short-haul flights. The new meal boxes are being offered since 1st February 2024.
New meal boxes
The new meal box offerings have been developed in collaboration with Servair Corporate Chef François Adamski, Bocuse d’Or and Meilleur Ouvrier de France. The meal boxes will be offered on short-haul flights within France only on flights departing from Paris Charles de Gaulle.
The airline is offering a menu that changes throughout the day. On flights leaving before 10 AM, a breakfast is served, consisting of sandwiches with adapted fillings such as smoked salmon and cream cheese with dill on white bread, accompanied by a breakfast pastry. After 10 AM, customers can enjoy new, unique and gourmet ‘signature’ sandwiches prepared by the chef, such as smoked paprika chicken and tarragon vegetables on granary bread, as well as typically French sweets and desserts such as a calisson, a cannelé or a tropézienne.

The French flag carrier says that François Adamski has created tasty sandwiches which are easy to eat on these short flights, selecting local and seasonal produce, meat, poultry and dairy products of French origin, PDO cheeses and fish from sustainable fisheries.
Renewed every month, these products are presented in an elegantly-designed meal box. It is accompanied by a rigorously selected wine and champagne list as well as a range of hot and cold drinks.
The carrier says that it is committed to responsible catering. The meal box and the food waste it contains are sorted on board. For the first time at Air France, and with the support of Servair, the boxes are subject to methanization for reprocessing purposes. Methanization is a natural biological process in which organic matter is broken down in order to be recycled into energy.
Chef François Adamski’s dishes are also available in the Air France lounge in Terminal 2F at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and in the Business Class on the airline’s medium-haul flights.
Meanwhile, Air France recently announced the addition of Phoenix, Arizona to its network.
