More than one million frozen airline ready meals have been saved from incineration to feed vulnerable people during the coronavirus lockdown.
The gourmet aeroplane dinners – from Thomas Cook Airlines’ James Martin range – had been stored in huge freezers in Trafford Park, close to Manchester Airport, since the airline went into administration earlier this year.
But when the coronavirus pandemic began and the majority of flights were grounded, all 1.1 million meals were due to be destroyed as airlines sought to cut costs.
The dishes, which include spinach gnocchi with pomodoro sauce, basil pesto and mozzarella, vegan tagine and scrambled egg with baked beans and potato rosti, will now be distributed to people in need across Manchester – including people who are ill, elderly, self-isolating due to underlying health conditions, are formerly homeless or in poverty.
