The figures alone are astonishing. Because the airline of the United Arab Emirates serves 149 meals per minute. That makes 215,000 per day. In other words: more than 77 million meals per year and they are prepared by 1,400 chefs and cooks. They master 2,200 different recipes and they are not just any recipes, but very special ones.

There was also 14 tons of Australian Yarra Valley feta. The feast is accompanied by a first-class selection of wines and exclusive champagne.
