Japan Transocean Air (JTA) will completely renew its in-flight meals on the Okinawa/Naha–Taipei/Taoyuan route starting May 1.
This is the second phase of an initiative aimed at promoting Okinawa’s food culture in Japan and overseas as “Wings of Okinawa,” and the airline will offer menus created in collaboration with local Okinawan companies Bueno Chicken, Jimmy, and Fashion Candy.
In Premium Economy Class, on flights departing from Okinawa/Naha, JTA will serve the “Bueno Chicken Avocado Dog,” a sandwich-style dish using “Bueno Chicken,” a popular local specialty in Okinawa. On flights departing from Taipei/Taoyuan, passengers will be offered “Bueno Chicken Chilled Tomato Pasta” made with Bueno Chicken. Both directions will be paired with “Chocobē,” a dessert consisting of traditional Okinawan salted rice crackers soaked in brown sugar milk chocolate.
In Economy Class, on flights departing from Okinawa/Naha, a set consisting of a cheese tuna salad roll and apple juice will be served. On flights departing from Taipei/Taoyuan, passengers will receive a set featuring a plain muffin from “Jimmy,” a long-established Western-style confectionery shop in Okinawa, along with apple juice.
