Austrian Airlines plans to bring back its Flying Chefs program this summer, returning after a three-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnership with its caterer DO & CO, chefs employed by the catering company will offer a complete gourmet experience to passengers traveling in Austrian’s business class on long-haul flights.

“We are delighted that the “Flying Chefs” are back on board at Austrian Airlines to freshly prepare our menus according to the individual wishes of the guests,” said Attila Dogudan, CEO, DO & CO.

In addition to professionally prepared and innovative dishes with a worldwide focus, both DO & CO and Austrian Airlines focus on using high-quality, regional products in the creation of the dishes.

“With our crews’ unique charm and an unforgettable gourmet experience, we want to offer our guests a high-end service with a special Austrian touch,” said Michael Trestl, CCO, Austrian Airlines. “Finally, the “Flying Chefs” by DO & CO will be part of our Business Class product on long-haul flights again.”

The service returns in the first months of Austrian’s summer flight schedule.
