Cardboard meal boxes (click here) for Qantas economy passengers have been found smouldering in ovens at the back of planes and on one occasion caught alight.
In an incident just over two weeks ago, flight attendants discovered flames in an oven on a Qantas 737 aircraft just 5 minutes after they had begun heating cardboard boxes full of food such as meat pastries and sandwiches.
The cabin crew used a fire extinguisher on the food which they had heated at the correct temperature of 275 degrees Celsius....
I am sure there is a better answer to Qantas' problems with their meal preparation. Qantas travels long miles on a regular basis out of Australia. The company requires the ability to provide good food to passengers. Serving free bags of nuts is not a good answer for Qantas.
