Korean Air Removes Hot Cup Noodles from Flights Due to Turbulence Concerns
ai generated text
Korean Air has announced that it will no longer serve ramyeon instant noodles on long-haul flights in economy class due to safety concerns. The airline cites the increased risk of burns from hot noodles in crowded economy cabins as the reason for the removal. Business and first-class passengers will still have access to the noodles. The decision comes as the number of turbulence occurrences on Korean Air flights has more than doubled in 2024.
In the case of ramyeon service, burn accidents occur frequently due to hot water.
This decision is part of proactive safety measures in response to increased turbulence, aimed at preventing burn accidents.
In economy class, flight attendants must move several cups of noodles filled with hot water at once, and passengers are crowded together, so the risk of burns has been high.
To enhance passenger satisfaction and diversify snack options, a self-service snack bar is also available on long-haul flights. We are committed to ensuring passenger safety and will select snacks on each route based on customer preferences.
