Virgin Atlantic to grow vegetables on-board flights

Fresh herbs and vegetables will be grown onboard Virgin Atlantic flights for Upper Class passengers from April 1st 2011.

This month the carrier will begin a trial period where it will provide fresh herbs and vegetables from a specifically designed vegetable patch in the galley of all aircraft for Upper Class passengers.

However, the idea will be to roll the campaign out to all passengers if the trial is successful.

The idea behind this initiative came from Virgin Atlantic’s continued pursuit to provide its customers with the finest and freshest food and drink offering in the sky.
