Passengers departing from the Caribbean saw their menu change after a 1.5 hour flight.
Change of menu for passengers on British Airways flight 252 from the Caribbean to London. On July 23, the airline, forced by “unforeseen circumstances“, served its customers a KFC meal during a stopover. During the trip of almost 7000 kilometers, the team of the long-haul aircraft was indeed unable to offer travelers “the usual catering service“, probably due to a breakdown of the refrigerators on board the aircraft.
The passengers, who could not pass the approximately 12 hours of travel without food, were thus able to enjoy this extraordinary meal. During a stopover in Nassau (capital of the Bahamas) 1h30 after departure, the “teams sourced an alternative meal at the airportcommunicates British Airways. The teams aretaken action», and brought back from their adventure ashore a small snack for their passengers. Namely fried chicken for everyone who wants it. On X (formerly Twitter), videos of the crew handing out large “bucketsof breaded chicken have been widely circulated.
«We apologize to customers that their meal was not available and so we had to improvise. We are sorry if you left feathers there“, reacts with humor the British airline. At destination,voucherswere distributed to all passengers, so that they could eat at London airport. One of the passengers testified to the British newspaper The Sun. «It was very hot, it made the food unsafe to eat, and British Airways did not want to risk the whole flight being sick» he said, «it was their only option to make sure no one got sick».
