Japan Airlines announced plans on Wednesday to serve Kentucky Fried Chicken on its flights from Tokyo's Narita Airport to the U.S. and Europe during the holiday season.
The airline will serve KFC from Dec. 1 through Feb. 28, 2013. Japan Airlines and Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan are collaborating for the seventh installment of the airline's Air Series in-flight meal program - temporary restaurant promotions for in-flight catering.
Economy and Premium Economy class passengers on flights from Tokyo to New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, London, Paris and Frankfurt will get a special two-piece meal of Original Recipe chicken (a boneless breast and a drumstick), plus flat bread, coleslaw, lettuce and a "special mayonnaise."
The KFC meal will not be offered to business and first class passengers, the airline said in the statement. The fast-food meals will be served in a special box and tray that is exclusive to Japan Airlines.
KFC option will be the second meal offered on long-haul international flights. The primary meal will consist of regularly catered cuisine and choices.
Previous featured meals have included traditional Japanese fare from Taimeiken and Yoshinoya.
