United Airlines ups its plant-based menu offering

In recognition of a growing need for plant-based options on its menus, United Airlines has expanded its plant-based menu, offering two new products from Impossible Foods for its U.S domestic customers.

The two companies have collaborated on several new options for airline customers since the start of June. The United-exclusive Impossible™ Meatball Bowl is available to first class customers on all domestic flights over 800 miles in the U.S and the Impossible™ Sausage is available in Polaris Lounges in LA, Newark, San Francisco and Chicago.

Aaron McMillan, United Managing Director of Hospitality and Planning commented: “We want our food offerings to evolve and change along with people’s preferences – we’re proud to work with Impossible Foods and think our customers are really going to love these new options.

“To many travelers, the quality of food choices at the airport and in the sky are a really important part of the customer experience, so we’re invested in making sure our menu items exceed their expectations. This is the first of many updates we look forward to sharing in the months ahead.”
