Vancouver, Canada–Onex Corporation subsidiary WestJet said in a press release that it became the latest to improve upon its snack offerings and rid itself of the clichéd joke “What’s the deal with airplane peanuts?”.
WestJet, per the release, will now be offering Pangea Munchie Mix from Pangea Natural Foods, which consists of non-GMO superfoods including dried cranberries, yogurt chips, roasted cashews, almonds and pumpkin seeds.
The Pangea Munchie Mix will be available to WestJet’s business class passengers on the global carrier’s fleet of aircraft. The airline operates as Canada’s second-largest airline with a fleet of over 160 planes, serving 109 destinations in 24 countries.
Previously, Pangea had announced the on-boarding of Pangea Munchie Mix on two other major airlines, namely Air Canada and Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. subsidiary British Airways.
Many of the airline industry’s top carriers are upgrading their menus in the near future, which the press release notes is a move attached to recovery efforts as the industry bounces back from its recent heavy losses since 2020.
Among the more noticeable changes have come from American Airlines Group Inc. which has actively been upgrading its food sources for things like greens, while others such as Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. subsidiary British Airways, and Air Canada, which all recently began offering a new high-protein snack mix from newly-public Pangea Natural Foods based out of Vancouver, Canada.
