Forget the calories, what about the carbon?
BANGKOK – There was a time when air travellers would be interested only in the number of calories in their in-flight meals.
No longer. These days it appears that the carbon count is more important than the calorie count.
Thai Airways International claims to be the first airline in the world to provide carbon footprint information on its signature dishes served in-flight. 


THAI’s menu features carbon footprint information for passengers, starting with two Thai signature dishes – Chicken Mussaman Curry with steamed Thai Hom Mali Rice (13.6 kg CO2 per 250g serving) and Green Curry Kiew-Wan with steamed Thai Hom Mali Rice (13.9 kg CO2 per 250g serving). 


“Passengers can become more environmentally conscious when they are aware of the amount of greenhouse gases produced in the choice of meals offered in the menu,” says THAI president Piyasvasti Amranand
