- Virgin Australia has launched a new Business Class menu for the colder months, featuring comforting pastas, Aussie classics and bright, hearty salads.

Thursday 30 June 2022: Nothing sparks excitement among the most frequent of flyers like the words “new menu”, and that’s exactly what Virgin Australia have launched in their Business Class cabin this week.
Designed with the cooler weather in mind, the menu is based on significant customer feedback as well as the input of Virgin Australia cabin crew, who taste tested all dishes before they were selected for the skies.
The wonderful winter fare features hearty café-style dishes with Aussie classics, pastas, and substantial salads using local Australian produce and served with Australian beer and wine and a selection of popular spirits.
Virgin Australia Group General Manager of Product and Customer, Sarah Adam, said: “We’re incredibly focused on providing wonderful experiences for our guests, both on the ground and in the air, so we’re delighted to introduce a new in-flight dining menu for our Business Class guests.
“As we move into the colder winter months, we wanted to bring hearty food options sky-high, so whether our guests are after a chicken parmigiana or pan seared gnocchi with mushroom sauce, we’ve got something to suit every palate.”
“Our menu selection process was based carefully on feedback from our own guests and cabin crew, so we know our guests will enjoy this fresh new take on in-flight dining.” she said.
The menu follows a long list of customer improvements made by Virgin Australia over the past 18 months, including the launch of a new buy onboard menu in April 2022, and a partnership with Boost Juice and Betty’s Burgers.
