No Food on Some Flights Is Unsettling
Delta Air Lines’ decision to save money by ending food and beverage service on most domestic flights offers a bleak picture for travelers, our company and our employees [“Delta Air to Halt Some Food Service,” Oct. 20].
The way to get people flying again is by providing travel that is secure and, we believe, comfortable. Enhanced security measures are in place. Cutting meal and beverage service is a step we suspect falls short of meeting most people’s definition of comfortable travel.
And if airport lines are long now, imagine if passengers are forced to queue up at over-burdened concession stands and tote brown bags through security.
Our industry is the safe, secure source of food service for airline passengers. We operate under strict Federal Aviation Administration and Food and Drug Administration supervision. We are wholly dependent on airline travel and already have been forced to cut nearly 30% of our U.S. work force.
With continued in-flight food service, we will continue to be around--rebuilding jobs and helping provide secure and comfortable airline travel.
