Airline Catering (Writing Task)

Please make one Paragraph of this Reading text. Don't forget to give comment based on the Peer Worksheet of Descriptive Paragraph

AIRLINE CATERING
 Airline catering may be classified into Flight Catering and Airport Catering. Flight Catering is a specialized food program for passengers on the board in planes. It has developed a long way from the sandwiches and flasks of coffee or tea to full dining service including drinks and wine and a choice of menus. Food is served in difficult conditions in narrow confines and especially when there is air turbulence. The service trolleys and equipment have to be stable to manage flight conditions. The real challenge is to give complete, nutritious and tasty meals that can be kept warm on long hauls or foods that have to be served quickly on short hauls. Food further varies with the class of travel. While economy class meals consist of standardized food served in plastic trays, disposable plastic cutlery, and paper napkins, the First Class passengers get a choice of menus, silverware, chine crockery and linen. Flight kitchens are specialized and need to be geared to provide food to various airlines around the clock. They are required to prepare complete meals that are nutritious, and also special meals for those with restrictive preferences like vegetarian food, non-fat meal, etc. Airport Catering involves food outlets that are self-service, waiter service, vending machines and licensed bars. They may be run by the airport authority or by outsourced catering establishments.
