New Service for Passengers: Condor Now Serving Vegan Menu

FRANKFURT, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Aug 29, 2013) -  As of 1 September 2013, Condor passengers will be able to pre-order a vegan menu to enjoy on board. Condor is responding to requests by numerous passengers, adding another option to its on-board menu offer. In addition to various special menus for passengers requesting vegan, vegetarian, diabetic, gluten- or lactose-free, Muslim and kosher variations, Condor also offers an extensive Premium menu.

"More people are adopting a vegan lifestyle. The introduction of this special vegan menu is Condor's response to this development, and is another step towards ensuring its passengers' comfort on-board," explains Michael Lins, Director of On-board Services at Condor. The type of meal served is determined by the departure time. Condor serves breakfast, or a cold or hot meal. The new vegan menu consists of an antipasti platter with couscous salad, a stuffed tomato with diced cucumber, Italian vegetable terrine with olives, fruit salad, sunflower bread, vegetable spread or margarine, mineral water and cashew nuts, he adds.

Condor's menu consists of first-class meals that are prepared from carefully selected fresh ingredients for passengers of all ages. Passengers requiring a special menu for health or personal reasons can easily order special meals. A separate children's menu is available for our youngest passengers if desired. Special and Premium menus cost EUR 7.00 per person on short-, EUR 10.00 on medium- and EUR 15.00 on long haul flights. They can be ordered up to 48 hours before departure, online at Condor.com.
