"WestJet and The Chopped Leaf have a common goal to break down the 'airline food' stigma," said Rossen Dimitrov, WestJet Chief Guest Experience Officer. "The ingredients in our new menu have been sourced to provide healthier options with quality and taste in mind. We continue to evolve our onboard offerings to meet the needs of our 22 million annual guests."
