Civil Aviation Resources Network, August 2, 2024: According to foreign media reports, Korean Air announced that due to the increasing frequency of strong air currents on flights, in order to ensure the safety of crew members and passengers, the airline's economy class on long-distance flights will stop serving instant noodles.
According to the BBC, for safety reasons, Korean Air prohibits passengers from eating instant noodles, but this rule is limited to economy class seats. The airline will still retain this service for business class and first class passengers. It is reported that the new measures will be implemented on August 15, and instant noodles will be replaced with snacks such as hot dogs and sandwiches.
According to Korean media reports, Korean Air said that the number of strong air currents on aircraft has increased in recent years, and the hot soup of instant noodles is easy to spill and cause scalding accidents in the narrow aisles and dense seating layout of the economy class. The passenger seats in business class and first class are relatively scattered, and the risk of causing scalding accidents is lower. Korean Air said in a statement: "In view of the increased frequency of turbulence, we have taken this measure as part of strengthening safety prevention in order to prevent scalding accidents. The airline continues to seek safer service methods to improve passenger satisfaction." Korean Air's move has sparked heated discussions on social media. Some netizens expressed doubts, "Will first-class cabins not encounter turbulence?", "It's ridiculous. Instant noodles have been provided since the 1970s." "Maybe it's too expensive for airlines to provide instant noodles." Some netizens expressed support and understanding, "Because instant noodles taste too strong."
According to reports, Korean Air has also introduced a new regulation that, starting from July 1, cabin service will be suspended 40 minutes before landing. Korean Air's new regulations require that cabin service be completed 40 minutes before landing. This adjustment is to prevent further accidents caused by strong air currents on flights, and flight attendants can also focus more on flight safety during landing.
