According to the latest press release by Aerolineas Argentinas, the airline will come together with Austral to offer “Gluten Free meals” service on board all its domestic and regional flights.
Aerolineas Argentinas Airline is the first airline in the region to come up with this new favorable concept. However, travellers are advised to place advance order of the special “Gluten Free meals” with their travel agents or directly with the airline after tickets are issued. The minimum time to put up the request for Gluten Free Meal is 24 hours in advance.
Gluten Free meals are highly suitable for the dietary requirement for persons suffering from celiac disease, which according to the Argentine Celiac Association affects 1 out of 100 Argentineans.
Mariano Recalde, Aerolineas Argentinas CEO and President emphasized at the need of this service by saying:
“The implementation of this measure is an obligation we have as State representatives, especially as this is for a public transport service”,
He added, “The implementation of gluten-free catering on economy class is now extended to all our passengers, a service that was previously reserved for Business Class passengers only”.
This special service was already available on Club Condor and Economy Class on international flights with Aerolineas Argentinas and will be now available for economy class passengers on its regional and domestic flights. The airline has also stated that the Snack Box will be launched on all flights in a gradual/stepwise process started from 15th December and travellers to Bariloche, Calafate, Trelew, Rio Gallegos, Cordoba, Iguazú and the regional routes will soon be able to avail the service. The service will be free of charge.
