New Delhi: With trouble lurking large in the aviation sector, several airlines are now cutting costs to deal with the rising economic challenges. While full-service carriers have been at the forefront of turbulence in the sector, some have already decided to cut costs. One of them is the national carrier Air India – it will now offer boxes with packed items such as cookies or peanuts instead of samosas and sandwiches that were served on flights of less than an hour's duration. A senior AI official told TOI that they have got multiple complaints of the samosas and sandwiches being spoilt and the new move to offer packed dry fruits will stop such episodes. The official suggested that the boxes will be kept near the entrance of the aircraft and passengers would have to pick their pack as they enter. "They can eat it on the flight or take with them. We are not going to have direct saving on meal cost by this switch,” the AI official said.
The individual went on to add that the new move will, however, help in cost-cutting indirectly, as packed items with longer shelf life will not require any kind of refrigeration or heating before they can be served. He went on to indicate that such items will also reduce the weight of the plane and thus lead to saving on fuel costs.
