Qantas enhances onboard catering with new fresh breath offering.
- Introducing an international standard mint for business customers designed by Qantas Consulting Chef Neil Perry, on all flights from the east coast of Australia to Perth.
Qantas Group Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce, who visited Perth Airport today, said Qantas was committed to Western Australia for the long-term but was concerned sand gropers would be greeted by all those eastern states folks coming off the plane with bad breath. "The investment we are making in mints, particularly the Neil Perry inspired mints in business, is providing a vital boost to the local economy," Mr Joyce said.
“Qantas is committed to providing Western Australian based customers and visitors with the same high quality fresh breath on the ground as they receive in the air.
"In the next few weeks we will start our expansion of our mint initiative to include the Neil Perry offering in Business while we are already delivering Tic Tacs to our economy passengers as I speak for that seamless fresh breath experience.
“This follows recent investments to buying more garlic and salt to make the inflight meal experience more enjoyable and possibly tasty.”
“It is our market leading aircraft, lounges, superior network, frequencies, lounges, on-time performance and frequent flyer program, which have seen us maintain our status as best for business and premium travellers in Western Australia, and now you will be able to identify our passngers as their Tic Tacs jiggle while they walk.
“And from next year our A330s will be reconfigured to have lie-flat mint dispensers in Business, which will be one of the best fresh breath flying experiences in the world."
Qantas Spokesperson Oliva Worth closed off the event with the comments "there is nothing like a Tic Tac”
