British Airways meal cut

British Airways is scrapping free meals after breakfast for economy passengers on short-haul flights as it endeavours to trim costs.
The airline, which like other carriers is facing unprecedented trading conditions, believes the move will not have a signigicant impact on passengers and will save around £22 million a year. Drinks and snacks will still be offered and a full meal will available on flights of more than two and half hours.
“When you fly with British Airways, the in-flight catering is top-class and, unlike some other airlines, it is free” said a BA spokesman.
“It is not unusual to make small changes to avoid waste and save money where it makes sense and it meets customers’ changing tastes.”
