Carolina Martinoli, British Airways’ Director of Brand and Customer Experience, said: “Over the last few months we know that our customers have valued the complimentary refreshments offered, so they’re here to stay. But in addition, we also wanted to offer more choice and the ability to buy something more substantial. After a successful partnership with M&S, we have teamed up with another British favourite, chef Tom Kerridge.
“Our expert teams have worked closely with Tom to create delicious British staples for our short haul menu. We know how popular the menus that Tom designed for our centenary were with our customers, so we are delighted to be working with him again and can’t wait for our customer to experience his fantastic new food at 35,000ft.”
Clive Jones, Chief Executive Officer at Tourvest Retail Services commented, “We are excited to launch a new online retail platform with British Airways, a key component of our omni-channel digital strategy. Customers can now secure their first choice of product and have these conveniently delivered straight to their seats. The new food and beverage as well as Highlife Shop products offer choice, quality and some good value for money deals all at the click of a button. We are both proud and humbled to be associated with British Airways together with Tom Kerridge.”
