UAL and The Trotter Project team enhance in-flight dining experience
CHICAGO, IL – United Airlines and The Trotter Project
are joining together to
boost travelers’ in-flight dining experience, with alumni chefs of Charlie Trotter’s
legendary Chicago restaurant and their culinary peers working with the airline to
design new premium-cabin and United Economy meals. United will also be the
official
airline of The Trotter Project, a nonprofit organization committed to
continuing Chef Trotter’s legacy through mentoring and internship programs for
youth interested in the culinary arts.
“Our partnership with The Trotter Project is an excellent addition to the investment we are making in
products
and services for our customers, from booking until they reach their final destinations,” said Sandra
Pineau-Boddison, United’s senior vice president of customers. “By pairing our team of chefs with those
affiliated with The Trotter Project, we will continue to offer our customers innovative dining options.”
United and The Trotter Project hosted their first menu-development
workshop in March, with United’s team
of chefs joining the following Trotter alumni and culinary supporters of the organization:
During the workshop, the chefs developed new menu ideas for United BusinessFirst customers on the
airline’s p.s. Premium Service and for United’s economy-cabin Choice Menu Bistro on Board. Customers
may get a taste of the new meals in the coming months.
The new collaboration between the airline and the nonprofit organization will receive advertising support
from Condé Nast Traveler, the official media partner of The Trotter Project. Condé Nast
Traveler is also
producing a short film documenting the partnership from kitchen to cabin, which customers will be able to
view on United flights worldwide. United’s partnership with The Trotter Project furthers the airline’s
commitment to the travel experience, with improvements this year to food and beverage service in-flight and
in airport clubs. United has:
• Introduced
delicious new premium
-
cabin meals and snacks on flights within North America, and expanded
premium-cabin meal service to include flights of at least 800 miles;
• Replaced snack boxes with freshly prepared entrées served on chinaware,
in premium cabins on United
Express regional-jet service of at least 800 miles; and
• Debuted an all
-
new complimentary food menu for United Clubs worldwide, with customers currently
enjoying the new fresh and healthy options
at locations in Chicago, Houston, New York/Newark and
Denver, and expanding the menu to other locations this year.
Also, beginning June 1, the airline will offer significantly upgraded food and beverage service – including
multi-course meals, complimentary beer and wine and a new option to purchase premium snacks – for
customers in United Economy on many long-haul international flights.
