British Airways Implements Food Cutbacks, Leaving Passengers Hungry

British Airways is implementing a new catering system to reduce food waste by not loading enough meals for all passengers on flights. This move comes after previous attempts to reduce food waste resulted in some customers going hungry. The airline stated that it is investing in its catering experience and working to minimize food waste. The company faced operational issues with its caterer in October, leading to flights departing without meals. Former CEO Willie Walsh implemented cost-cutting measures, including the removal of free beverages on short-haul flights, while the current CEO has reintroduced complimentary tea and coffee.
