Beginning July 2025, passengers traveling in Air
France's La Premi¨¨re and Business cabins will be treated to new, creative
signature dishes from New York-based, Michelin-starred chef, Daniel Boulud.
The new dishes will be available on flights from New
York-JFK to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, the airline's flagship route, as well as
from Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and Washington, DC. By the end of 2025,
the menus will be available from all of the airline's U.S. destinations.
This marks the second time that the Lyon chef, recognized as
one of the greatest in the world, has joined forces with Air France providing a
new opportunity
for the airline to showcase French cuisine and offer its customers
exceptional flavors.
Chef Boulud will be offering simple, tasty dishes with
traditional French heritage combined with a modern feel. In keeping with the
company's standards, the chef uses fresh, local produce to create dishes
inspired by the rhythm of the seasons.
¡°As both a French chef and a New Yorker, it is an honor for
me to play a part in this essential connection that Air France provides between
the United States and France. I try to bridge the distance with my culinary
offerings as well, which combine innovation and tradition,¡± said Daniel Boulud
in a statement.
Red meat and poultry recipes will be created exclusively for
Air France customers in collaboration with Servair, France's leading airline
catering company.
The company is also partnering with Dominique Crenn, who
offers vegetarian dishes and elaborate fish-based recipes on departures from
the U.S., Julien Royer on flights from Singapore, Olivier Perret on departures
from Canada, Olivier Chaignon on flights from Japan, Jofrane Dailly on
departures from Reunion Island and Jean-Charles Br¨¦das on flights departing
from the West Indies, French Guiana and on its regional Caribbean network.
As part of the airline¡¯s campaign against food waste, Air
France is offering customers traveling in the Business cabin the possibility of
pre-selecting their hot meal up to 24 hours before the flight. The service
combines the guarantee of availability of the customer's choice with fairer onboard
consumption.
La Premi¨¨re cabins are currently available from
Paris-Charles de Gaulle to Abidjan, Dubai, Los Angeles, Miami, New York-JFK,
San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Tokyo-Haneda and Washington, DC.
