Air France launches its new "signature" menus in Premium Economy with Frédéric Simonin on flights to South Africa

To prepare these menus, Frédéric Simonin worked together with Servair, the world leader in in-flight catering, choosing fresh, local and seasonal produce, as well as fish from sustainable fisheries. His culinary delights are now available to enjoy on board.

To accompany each meal, Air France offers its customers a wide range of beverages, with or without alcohol, including a wine and champagne list specially selected by expert Paolo Basso, World's Best Sommelier 2013.
