Qantas is elevating the inflight experience for customers travelling on its domestic network, unveiling revamped menus that champion celebrated Australian producers. Rolling out in Business and Economy cabins, the new menus feature nearly 70 new and refreshed items on rotation across six mealtimes.
To enhance variety for frequent flyers, the menu is structured around a six-week rotation cycle, so regular travellers can enjoy a different selection each week.
“Each year, we proudly serve our customers more than 20 million menu items onboard and we’re excited to introduce a refreshed offering featuring even more delicious options on every flight,” said Catriona Larritt, Chief Customer and Digital Officer, Qantas Group. “We know our customers value variety and quality when they fly with us, and this new menu has been thoughtfully curated to highlight the finest Australian flavours while championing local businesses across the country.”
The menu features products from local suppliers, including hearty beef and mushroom pies from Sydney-based Simmone Logue, artisan toasties from Queensland’s The Handmade Food Co., and sweet treats from Sydney’s Manna from Heaven.
The refreshed menu also deepens partnerships with First Nations businesses. Customers can enjoy products from DreamTime Tuka by Uncle Herb Smith, which brings authentic indigenous bush tucker to customers. Additionally, Qantas welcomes Cooee, the female-led Indigenous business founded by Terri-Anne Daniel, as a new supplier, featuring Jam Drop Cookies inspired by her nan’s recipe.
Qantas is also improving the offering in its lounges, introducing The Bakery in its Brisbane Domestic Business Lounge, serving freshly made items including cinnamon scrolls, egg and bacon quiches and classic Aussie sausage rolls from noon daily. From November, guests visiting the Melbourne Domestic Business Lounge can enjoy nasi goreng with fried egg or poached eggs on sourdough with chilli oil, freshly prepared at the dedicated Spice Bar. Meanwhile those in the Perth Business Lounge can enjoy bacon and egg pizzas from the Pizza Bar.
