On flights departing close to iftar, snack boxes will be provided at Terminal 3 boarding gates, while meal boxes will be served to fasting passengers in economy, with a similar selection in business class and first class. Non-fasting passengers travelling on Umrah, Madinah and Jeddah flights will receive a cold meal instead of the regular hot meal for all flights taking off after sunrise and before sunset.
