"We Had To Wing It": British Airways Serves KFC To Passengers After Catering Issue
NDTV
British Airways issued a statement, apologising to customers for the unforeseen circumstances. They also gave passengers refreshment vouchers when they arrived in London.
British Airways passengers were treated to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) after the airline was unable to provide customers with regular in-flight food. According to CNN, the cabin crew served fried chicken straight from the KFC bucket to travellers on a long-haul flight from the Caribbean to the United Kingdom. The 12-and-a-half hour flight from Turks and Caicos faced some issues with the catering service so they resorted to the unusual alternative, with there being limited meal options at the airport. So, the 12-hour flight turned into an impromptu KFC feast.Only at British Airways, folks.Apparently, their fridges broke and instead of serving stale cheese and crackers,the crew got dozens of buckets of wings from an airport KFC during refueling.All the passengers were… pic.twitter.com/zJdFTKkAOW @British_Airways just landed @HeathrowAirport after a 12.5 hour flight BA252 from Turks and Caicos with no catering! BA had to serve @kfc at Nassau giving some lucky passengers 1 piece of chicken. The container with the plane catering wasn't chilled so all thrown away!! pic.twitter.com/U5IcBD2hRy
A video shared on social media showed flight attendants holding KFC buckets with tongs and handing out chicken to passengers. Sharing the clip on microblogging website X, one user wrote, "So, the 12-hour flight turned into an impromptu KFC feast. Only at British Airways, folks.
