The president of the catering company made a statement and said that the meals on airplanes will now include food from local producers and suppliers. Gary Chapman, dnata president said: “Passenger traffic through Dublin Airport is up year-on-year since 2011 and it is just a matter of time before it reaches the 30 million mark. "In Dublin, we have identified a really strong opportunity to provide the growing number of long-haul carriers, and their customers, with great-tasting, high quality in-flight meals. "We see this as a real vote of confidence in the Irish market, which we will support further by sourcing from local food producers and suppliers." We are ALL for this.
