Criticism of SIA food fuelled by unmet expectations over 'world class' branding, travellers say..
Singapore Airlines (SIA) has increasingly come under fire since travel resumed after the pandemic.
In recent months, netizens have given the national carrier flak for its economy class meals, with a paper serviceware trial in March igniting discussion around the airline’s food presentation. Then in April, a thread on online forum Reddit further called into question the “downgraded” food quality in SIA’s economy class.
Amid heightened complaints, SIA reported a record annual profit of S$2.16 billion (US$1.63 billion) earlier this month – which only seemed to fan the flames.
Social media reactions to the news highlighted the perceived disparity between the airline's profit and food standards, with several calling for "better quality meals with classier packaging” and “all the other pre-pandemic perks”.
