Emirates Airline faced backlash after a couple from Glasgow, who requested vegan meals, were mistakenly served halal meat on a flight from Dubai to Bangkok. Despite confirming their vegan requests multiple times, the couple received no assistance from flight attendants when they declined the halal meals. After numerous complaints, Emirates acknowledged no fault, eventually offering 15,000 Skywards Miles as compensation but mislabeling their request as “vegetarian.” This incident raises concerns about Emirates’ reliability in meal orders, especially as demand for vegan options grows, with a reported 40% increase year-on-year. Similar meal order issues have also affected other airlines.
