CAAP orders carriers to feed crews

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on Thursday released a memorandum circular (MC) ordering all carrier operators to provide meal provisions to their flight and cabin crews.

An MC signed by Captain John Andrews, CAAP deputy director general, states that “this authority is alarmed of the ongoing practice of air carrier operators of merely allowing their cockpit crew to procure/buy their individual meals, instead of providing separate airline prepared meals during their flight duties/periods.”
