00:00Air India will not provide non-vegetarian food to Hindu and Sikh passengers from 17th November.
00:10A while ago, a packed food was controversially named as a Muslim meal.
00:15It has been changed to a special meal.
00:17Halal certified meal will be an option for Muslims and other passengers who like it.
00:22Passengers will be able to select this option during ticket booking.
00:25A while ago, Air India had to face a lot of criticism for naming Halal certified meal as a Muslim meal.
00:32Now the company has decided to use the word special meal instead of Muslim meal.
00:38Advisory has also been issued on this.
00:40Experts believe that Air India's decision has been taken with the passengers in mind
00:46who do not want to consume Halal food.
00:49According to this decision, Hindu and Sikh passengers will not be served Halal meal
00:55so that their religious sentiments can be respected.
00:58Air India's decision is aimed at creating a positive impact among passengers,
01:01especially among religiously sensitive people.
01:05The company's decision was given to all stakeholders through an internal circular at the beginning of this month.
01:13This decision was immediately followed by the merger with Tata Samhu's ownership Vistara.
01:19Internal Circular has said that the meal already booked with MOML sticker will be considered as a special meal.
01:27Halal certificates will only be issued for MOML meal.
01:32All meals will be Halal in Saudi sector and
01:35Halal certificates will be issued in Jeddah, Damm, Riyadh and Madinah sectors along with Hajj flights.
01:42Air India is not the only airline that offers Halal meal.
01:47Many other international airlines also offer Halal meal as a special meal option.
01:53However, many airlines now try to keep the meal variety and transparency of passengers in mind.
02:03Many people from Hindu and Sikh communities have welcomed this decision of Air India.
02:08This is also seen as a sign of respect for their food preference and religious traditions.
