Delta Air Lines is upgrading its meal service in premium cabins on select transcontinental flights, the carrier announced.
Delta is partnering with San Francisco-based Greek restaurant group Souvla to supply sandwiches, salads and Greek yogurt to Delta One and First Class passengers on flights from San Francisco to both Boston and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, beginning in September. Additionally, New York-based caterer Union Square Events, a Delta partner since 2013, will bring back its menu—featuring items such as braised short ribs and spinach and goat cheese frittatas—for Delta One and First Class passengers on flights from JFK to each Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle.
After airlines adjusted their meal service due to the Covid-19 pandemic, hot meals first returned to Delta's premium cabins in June on select transatlantic flights, including meals from L.A.-based chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo on flights from Los Angeles to JFK, Boston and Washington's Reagan National. Those menus also will expand in September, and the carrier additionally will add new options from local providers on flights from Seattle later in the fall.
