Is airplane food permissable to eat? Some airlines eg. Malaysia, say their food is halaal. Is it ok to eat it?

Answer

AIRLINE FOOD

A reinvestigation into meals served on airlines has revealed that airline catering companies have inadequate arrangements for Halaal food preparation in terms of SANHA requirements.

Muslim passengers and travel agents are urged to petition the respective airlines to implement guaranteed Halaal catering arrangements.
