Japanese airline ANA has announced that it will launch its 'Omotenashi Hospitality' service in December.
'Omotenashi Hospitality' will include providing luxury in-flight meals for children in the economy class.
Vegetarian meals served on the airline will be prepared by a top chef of the Taj Group. In all, 14 kinds of special meals, will be served, some of which will be made keeping religious sentiments in mind.
The luxury child meal has been developed by Chef Teruyo Kiuchi, a mother of three children. Kuichi has 16 years experience as a chef, and decided to prepare attractive meals for children after having an unsatisfactory experience with her child on their first trip abroad. She recalls that the child meal served by the airline on that trip was poor.
This luxury child meal will consist of snowman rice, vegetable curry, heart marked cheese, hamburger, confectionery and toys.
The airline believes that children will never get bored if they eat and play.
