On Thursday (March 9, 2023), Air France unveiled their new spring menu for customers traveling in La Première or Business Class on long-haul flights departing Paris. From March through June 2023 premium guests will enjoy a series of exceptional dishes created in partnership with a trio of accomplished chefs including Mauro Colagreco, Angelo Musa and Régis Marcon. In designing these menus, which showcase French haute cuisine onboard, the chefs have worked in partnership with Servair, a global leader in inflight catering, with a focus on fresh, seasonal and local produce. As part of Air France’s commitment to a more responsible catering offer, the red meat, poultry, eggs and milk products are of French origin, while the fish has been sourced from sustainable fisheries.

Air France has entrusted the menu of their prestigious La Première suites to Menton, France-based Chef Mauro Colagreco, a three Michelin-starred chef and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for biodiversity. Chef Mauro has crafted eight flavorful dishes that will be revealed between March and June, using only seasonal produce.
Speaking about his inspiration for the spring 2023 menu, Chef Mauro Colagreco said,
“I was inspired to create these dishes by our region in the south of France, the Alpes Maritimes. There is a whole range of ingredients from the sea, the mountains, citrus fruits and the famous Menton lemons. I would like passengers in the La Première cabin to discover each product and its history so that their meal is a real moment of culinary pleasure suspended in time.”

The dessert menu has been created by Chef Angelo Musa, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and the World’s Best Pastry Chef. For this bespoke series, the chef has signed a selection of four desserts, where balance, delicacy and harmony of flavors meet.
