American Airlines has partnered with Zoës Kitchen to introduce new for-purchase menu items for passengers in the main cabin, focused on lighter and healthier choices.
The collaboration brings signature Zoës dishes and new options to the in-flight menu, including the brand’s hummus and The Gruben sandwich. These items will be offered on most domestic flights longer than three hours starting Dec. 1.
“Zoës mission to deliver goodness from the inside out and their ‘simple, tasty, fresh’ offerings made it an easy decision to partner with the fast-casual, healthy restaurant group,” said Janelle Anderson, vice president of global marketing, American Airlines. “Our customers have asked for lighter tasty food choices. This collaboration with the expert chefs at Zoës provides an innovative, fresh approach to onboard offerings.”
Kevin Miles, president and CEO of Zoës Kitchen, added that the partnership aims to raise the in-flight dining experience by offering chef-inspired items in a new format. “Our goal in our restaurants is to provide delicious, wholesome food inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean, so guests feel good and motivated to live life to the fullest after dining with us,” he said.
The new in-flight lineup will include a breakfast sandwich, a continental breakfast box, and a chicken wrap, alongside other lighter, chef-driven selections designed to appeal to health-conscious travelers.
