How Emirates Makes 225,000 In-Flight Meals A Day

How Emirates Makes 225,000 In-Flight Meals A Day

Posted on December 2, 2019 by Charles McMullen


Narrator: Here in Dubai,
Emirates Flight Catering makes 110 million in-flight meals a year. As the world’s largest catering
facility, they run 24/7, cooking up every snack,
dessert, and main dish eaten by the airline’s 55
million passengers a year. And these travelers eat a lot. In 2018, Emirates passengers
downed 72 million bread rolls, over 134,000 pounds of
strawberries, 414 pounds of salmon, and more than three
million pounds of potatoes. So, how does the world’s
largest flying restaurant feed hungry passengers aboard
nearly 200,000 flights a year? Well, before any cooking can even start, everything has to be unloaded
off incoming flights. Plates, trays, trolleys, you name it. They’re all dropped in the ground floor of the facility to cleaned. Dishes are separated into categories and sent through industrial-sized
warewashing machines. On average, the facility handles about 3 million pieces of tableware a day. Those trolleys that bring
you drinks during your flight are also cleaned here. Then they’re loaded up onto the building’s mile-and-a-half-long monorail to be taken upstairs. This system is how massive
amounts of inventory are moved safely through the building. The monorail has pick
up and drop off points at multiple locations on every floor. Upstairs is where the cooking takes off. First, in the cold kitchen,
all of the sandwiches and appetizers are prepped and plated. Because the different
cabins have specific menus, appetizers and sandwiches
for first and business class are prepared on one side of the kitchen, while those for economy
are prepared on the other. Sandwiches are sliced and
stacked and then feed through the flow wrapping machine
to keep the bread fresh until it’s unwrapped aboard the plane. Now, on to the main kitchen, where they’re whipping up the hot food. The kitchen’s broken down
by four food regions: Asian, Sub-Continent,
European, and Middle Eastern. Emirates 1,800 chefs from around the world develop 1,300 different menus a month. They cover the culinary gambit of every destination Emirates flies to. Whenever you’re aboard an Emirates flight, the meal you’re served will be inspired by the region of your arrival destination. And with over 150 destinations
in 85 different countries, well that’s a lot of
region-specific meals. So, if your headed to France, you’ll get a croissant in the morning. Flying to India? You’ll most likely get a crisp kachori. Stopping off in Japan? How about some soba or a bento box? Emirates says they want
to welcome travelers home or give new visitors a first
taste of the region’s food. So what’s Emirates specialty
dish welcoming passengers to their hub of Dubai? The Emirate arabic mezze
selection with sticky pudding. The hot kitchen is where
region specific dishes like the mezze take form. Chefs mix big vats of vegetables, grill lines of lamb chops, and top rows of dishes with garnishes. Each plate has to taste
and look exactly the same. It’s at this point that
all of the hot dishes head to the blast chiller. They have to be cooled down to the perfect food-safe temperature. The last kitchen is for
all us sugar lovers: the dessert room. Cakes, pastries, and cookies are all individually mixed,
piped, dipped, and baked here. The facility specializes in
arabic sweets, made in house. The coolest part? The hydro processor, a
high-powered water laser that cuts perfectly
precise slices of cake. Finally, the assembly
room. This is where all of the pieces converge onto one tray. It’s also where every meal
gets a day code printed on it. It’s in UV ink, so as a passenger you won’t actually see
it, but it helps Emirates track the life of each dish. That way, they’re sure they’re not serving flyers any spoiled food. This is also where salads and fruit plates are packaged up. Silverware and dishes are prepared and all incoming meals
are assembled onto trays, exactly as we’d see them as
passengers aboard the flight. Those trays are loaded
back into the trolleys. That take another spin on that
monorail to the ground floor. Back downstairs, the trolleys are packed into awaiting high-loader trucks. Those trucks will be sent
out to aircrafts two hours before departure times to unload meals for hungry passengers waiting aboard.

    I flown Emirates business class where they put out the food like buffet. Toward the end of flight, I saw them throwing all the uneaten food away. Those are perfect edible food that would last days. I was shocked at their waste and how this business practice can still be tolerated when sustainability is such a top priority for the world.

    And when the Emirates flight lands in the UK (don't know about other countries) all leftover food & drink that hasn't been used on board is all thrown away. Even if it's still in the wrapper & hasn't been touched, hasn't even left the trolley, straight in the bin for "security reasons". While there are people starving. What a waste! ๐Ÿ˜ก
