Airline kitchens are known for their own food safety problems, but rarely do those ground-based issues result in a loss of food service in the air.
Delta Air Lines, however, made that connection by announcing that passengers on 200 flights this past weekend were not getting meal service because of a “food safety issue” at its Detroit flight kitchen.
The Detroit airline kitchen servicing Delta flights was subjected to a routine Food and Drug Administration inspection. Delta said that during a recent inspection at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW), the airline learned of the food safety issue in the flight kitchen.
