Dubai-based\u00a0Emirates\u00a0will debut a new limited-time inflight menu this week to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan, Eid al Fitr. The airline said passengers will be presented with an array of regional flavors onboard, along with special dishes in its\u00a0airport lounges\u00a0and new Arabic inflight entertainment.<\/p>\n

In addition to new savory offerings, Emirates will also feature several sweet delights for dessert as sugary treats are traditionally savored following a month of fasting during Eid al Fitr. The carrier plans to offer new decadent desserts across all cabins.<\/p>\n
