    The airplane meals have quickly turned into a hit with 1,600 meals sold within days

    "There are redundancies and layoffs going on already at Finnair and we are trying our best to find new innovative ways," head of Finnair Kitchen Marika Nieminen told Reuters. Image Credit: REUTERS

    "In this desperate remote work environment this is a small, nice taste of normal life," Mika, a customer from Vantaa said. In 2017, Finnair stopped outsourcing its catering services by buying LSG Sky Chefs, a company that operated at Finland's main airport, from a Lufthansa subsidiary and renamed it Finnair Kitchen.

    A year later, Finnair Kitchen produced some 12,000 meals a day but the numbers collapsed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit air travel. Nieminen said Finnair planned to introduce new dishes, including reindeer meat from Finnish Lapland and Japanese-style pork shoulder, for supermarkets. Image Credit: REUTERS
