Air China has entered into a new inflight catering partnership with the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Beijing, enhancing its premium customers’ dining experience in the sky with a new menu.

Barolo, the Italian restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Beijing, is named after the famed winemaking region in northern Italy, and focuses on the perfect pairing of delicious food and delectable wines, with head chef Amedeo Ferri creating a distinctive fine-dining experience.

The new menu includes spiced prawn salad; tomato and basil soup; braised beef tenderloin with prosciutto; and panna cotta for dessert. Air China has worked closely with head chefs from Beijing Air Catering, one of China’s biggest airline catering specialists, to develop these dishes, resulting in a delicious menu that meets all airline catering standards and is suitable for mass production without compromising on quality or taste.

The new menu will soon be available for all Air China first-class passengers on China to North America routes. Air China operates a first class product on its Boeing 747-8 aircraft for long-haul routes to the likes of New York, as well as selected domestic routes. The cabin features 12 private and spacious seats.
