KARACHI: The Civil Aviation Authority has enforced a ban on serving meals in domestic flights in lieu of rising coronavirus cases in the country. “Food cost is based on the actual cost of production, cost of flight kitchen set up, transportation of food, and other miscellaneous expenses. “A reduction of Rs200 from the fare won’t be noticeable.”He said it is unlikely that PIA or other airlines will bring down domestic airfares to accommodate the ban on in-flight meals. It is pertinent to note that a number of budget airlines around the world do not serve meals on board as a means to save costs. Passengers are currently allowed to bring their own meals on domestic flights by all air carriers.
