Virgin Australia serves up global flavours in new winter menu

Virgin Australia is inviting passengers to a food festival in the sky, with a new winter menu in Economy and Business Class made fresh daily.

Virgin Australia has unveiled five new additions to the airline’s Economy Class buy onboard menu available from today. Economy passengers can now tuck into Italian indulgences from St Food Co. such as the creamy spinach and ricotta tortellini, alongside Aussie favourites like the savoury beef snack pie and sausage roll.  All perfectly paired with a refreshing Archie Rose Gin & Peach Soda.

And from 28 May, Virgin Australia is treating Business Class flyers to a selection of globally inspired dishes, including Japanese-style soba noodles with grilled chicken, a three-bean Mexican quesadilla with sour cream and salsa and an Indian-inspired chickpea masala with herbed jasmine rice.

Virgin Australia general manager Product & Customer Strategy Kyler Chong said the latest menu refresh reflects the airline’s commitment to delivering remarkable experiences full of personality, value and choice.

“At Virgin Australia, we believe flying should be as enjoyable as the destination, right down to what’s served onboard. Our new winter menu embodies our passion for bringing personality to the skies, featuring fresh, flavour-packed options designed to add value and delight at every bite.

“From familiar favourites to globally inspired dishes, Virgin Australia is committed to creating an in-flight dining experience that is thoughtful, satisfying, and distinctly memorable – never ordinary.”

Today’s new menu announcement forms part of Virgin Australia’s continued investment in the customer experience. It follows new innovations including digital receipts for onboard purchases and its Australian airline-first baggage tracking technology.
