Swiss Airlines introduces new menu by Michelin-starred chef

"I am honored to represent Ticino and its cuisine aboard SWISS’s flights," Federico Palladino adds. "And I hope our passengers enjoy my creations as much as I have enjoyed devising and developing them. After all, travel and enjoyment go firmly hand in hand."

In SWISS First Class, travelers can choose starters like smoked trout with Sbrinz panna cotta or carrot and ginger soup with confit langoustine. Main courses include lamb loin glazed with black garlic or pikeperch with yuzu sauce. Desserts feature coffee mousse with salted caramel sauce.

SWISS Business guests start their meal with slow-cooked beef or radish and Grana Padano salad. Main courses offer veal filet with Parmesan crust or barbecue-glazed chicken breast options. Desserts include a shortcrust tartlet with pistachio cream.

Premium Economy Class passengers also enjoy a three-course meal inspired by Canton Ticino, featuring chicken piccata as a main course option.

The 'SWISS Taste of Switzerland' program has been showcasing regional culinary delights for 22 years in collaboration with catering partner gategourmet. Each quarter, a new top chef creates dishes representing their home canton for long-haul flights from Switzerland.

Gategourmet ensures these creations maintain quality when served onboard. It is part of gategroup, a leading provider of airline catering products globally.
