Korean Air has announced that starting August 15, it will no longer serve its popular instant ramyun noodles in economy class due to safety concerns linked to turbulence.
The airline cited an increase in turbulence, which has more than doubled since 2019, leading to incidents of passengers suffering burns from spilt hot broth. While business and first-class passengers can still enjoy the noodles, economy travellers will see them replaced with safer, non-spillable options like corn dogs or pizza.
The decision underscores the airline’s commitment to passenger safety amidst changing climate conditions.
No more instant noodles in economy class due to safety risks (turbulence). Passengers in business and first class can still enjoy it though. So, no turbulence risk in these travel classes then? Nah, sounds more like a hidden cost-cutting measure to me.
