Air India stops serving non-veg meals for economy class passengers

In a move to curtail expenditure, struggling national carrier Air India has decided to stop serving non-vegetarian meals to economy class passengers on domestic flights.

Issuing a statement on Monday, the airline said, "Air India has taken a conscious decision not to have non-vegetarian meal in economy class on its domestic flights to reduce wastage and costs as well as in order to improve catering service."

However, airline sources said the decision was implemented in the month of June.
