Emirates is set to please its customers by offering special Diwali delicacies for the celebratory season. The special treats will be available for customers across all classes on flights to and from India during the week of Diwali celebrations from 16th - 22nd October.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is a significant celebration among Indians around the world, and food plays an vital role in the festivities. The classic sweets associated with Diwali blend colours and flavours with traditional Indian culinary elements.

To keep up with regional and seasonal food trends, Emirates changes its onboard menus monthly and continually reviews its recipes. The airline develops seasonal menus for special occasions and special meal boxes for the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Emirates serves locally flavoured cuisine on flights to all of its destinations. Each region has specific ingredients or components which are selected by the culinary experts of Emirates, based on regional profiles.
