EastJet Apologizes to Jewish Passengers for Food; Served Pork Products on London-Tel Aviv Flight

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency website reports today (February 24, 2011) that EasyJet apologized to Jewish passengers on its London-Tel Aviv route who were offered ham melts and bacon baguettes.

It is the airline's policy not to have any pork products on board the planes on that route.

The kosher menu includes egg, mayonnaise and tomato sandwiches; smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels; mozzarella and tomato panini; and a muffin or chocolate orange mini cake.

The wrong food canisters were loaded on the plane for the four-and-a-half hour flight, according to the airline spokeswoman, who apologized to the passengers for the mistake.
