Airline Jet2.com has teamed up with one of the nation's top Italian food brands to give passengers a unique new in-flight food option.
Carluccio’s, the restaurant, deli and online store, has created an exciting Italian snack box for the airline's In-Flight Menu, making it the first UK carrier to help customers experience a taste of Italy in the sky.
Available to purchase for £4.80, the box includes: Taralli, a traditional savoury snack from Southern Italy made from olive oil, flour and water; two dips (tangy cheese and tomato & garlic); handmade skinny Grissini bread sticks, which have been baked and double dipped in chocolate, and Torcetti, a twisted butter cookie from Piedmont, Northern Italy, hand finished in sugar.
Every Italian snack box also contains a 20 per cent off voucher to be redeemed in one of Carluccio’s restaurants and delis across the country, as well as via the company’s online store.
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “The addition of this fantastic Italian Snack Box gives our customers even more great choice when it comes to enjoying a tasty treat onboard.
"We are delighted to have partnered with one of the UK’s most loved restaurant brands, Carluccio’s, and to be the first UK airline to offer the restaurant’s products in the air, giving passengers the chance to enjoy a true taste of Italy at 35,000 feet."
Sarah Strangeway, head of buying at Carluccio’, added: “We are thrilled to be taking Carluccio’s to the skies for the first time with Jet2.com and have created authentic Italian products sourced from artisan producers to give passengers a tasty quality treat on their travels.”
