When traveling with Novair, we want you to already enjoy the start of your vacation on board the flight. Perhaps perhaps with a hot three-course meal delivered directly to your seat? It is all about the overall experience, where everything from taste to appearance, sustainability and impact on the environment is important. Our menu is chosen by and for Novair passengers, and we are proud of our high customer ratings.
Due to the current situation, we currently do not serve bread with the food. This is to minimize the risk of infection.
Meals can be booked already from home, easily and conveniently. Our menu selection includes several options. In addition to the Standard meal, you can choose a vegetarian or special diet. On some flights we also offer a Superior Meal. All menus include of a small starter, a main course and dessert. As a rounding off, coffee or tea is always included. As close as you can get to a restaurant at an altitude of 10,000 meters!
Our ambition is to, at high altitude, create an alternative to the wrapped sandwich at a stressful airport. A positive dining experience is a well-composed meal in peace and quiet, preferably in good company.
Adding meals is done through your tour operator, either when booking your trip, or by contacting them afterwards to add meals to your flight.
If anything is unclear, or you need any help, do not hesitate to contact Novair Customer Service.

Food should be fun, and that is something we have put a little extra thought into when it comes to the menu for children. For the younger ones (2-11 years) we serve a composed menu with delicious kids´ favourites. The cabin crew always serve children first, so that adults can help without their own food getting cold. The cabin crew will also happily help out with heating baby food for toddlers. To make the flight experience a little extra special, there is the Surprise Meal menu, which includes a fun toy as a surprise.
A favorite with lasagna and orange juice, butter, crackers and soft cheese. Mini muffins with smarties to round off the meal.
Meatballs in cream sauce with mashed potatoes, broccoli and mini carrots. Butter, bread and soft cheese. Choco chip cookie for dessert.
For the very youngest, there is also the option of ordering food. The food served consists of the same menu that is served to children 2-11 years.
Of course, you can also choose vegetarian and vegan options on board Novair. Like our other menus, these consist of a starter, main course and dessert. If you want to book a vegetarian menu for your trip with Novair, do this in connection with booking the trip or no later than 3 days before the actual departure through your tour operator.
When you order a vegetarian or vegan meal, a starter and dessert are always included, as well as a hot main course as per below (sample menus):

For any questions regarding the special diet menu, please contact our customer service.

Let the flavors come to life a little extra by combining the dish with a tasty drink. At Novair, in addition to water, soft drinks and other non-alcoholic drinks, both red and white wine and rosé are served. The wines are specially selected to be served at high altitude, to minimize the effect on the known 20% loss of taste. How about a glass of chardonnay from Australia, or a glass of red Pinot Noir from New Zealand? A novelty is the light rosé wine Pinotage Rose from South Africa, which has received great appreciation.
With Novair, you always get something good after your meal. It can be anything from a delicious mousse to a delicate pastry. One of our most popular desserts is our Lemon Tartlet, where passengers even call in to ask for the recipe!
An extra treat is a small piece of chocolate from French Valrhona, one of the most famous chocolate producers in the world.
On board there is a wide range of snacks and drinks.
Did you know?
You don’t have to order for everyone travelling
You can choose to order food only on the outbound or return journey. You also don’t have to order food for the whole party, but only for those who want a meal served on board!
The food is prepared locally at our airports
Good quality meals must be fresh and feel homemade. Therefore the meals are prepared either on the same day as your flight, or in the afternoon/evening the day before your flight. An important aspect of our sustainability work is that this is done locally at our airports.
We help design the menus…
We work with three suppliers for our food products. They are selected with great care, where quality and environmental considerations are the most important selection criteria. We design our menus together with the main supplier Dafgård’s chefs. Novair’s catering manager Paul de Susini tests all the different dishes and makes a selection before a reference group then gets to rate and select the favourites, which are then served on board.
… which are chosen by and for our passengers
Did you know that you lose about 20% of the taste experience in the air? That’s why we test fly all dishes where our passengers on board get to join in and give their opinions on the meal served.
Our food boxes
Customized food boxes for a smaller footprint on the environment
We are proud of our food boxes. They are produced in Sweden from cardboard produced from Swedish forests. Together with the supplier we have adapted the boxes to suit us. They are easy to use on the flight and do not take up too much space at the table. But, perhaps the best thing is that they weigh so little. We don’t just want the food to be served in a pleasant way – it must also be fuel efficient. Our light food boxes save approx. 14 kg of carbon dioxide per flight, and approx. 15 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, which leaves a smaller footprint on the environment. We also collect all food boxes after the flight and send them for incineration, so that nothing is thrown away or littered.
Right now we are working on getting rid of all plastic used on board.
Bringing food on board
Keep in mind that it is not allowed to bring your own food on board. This is because we cannot then guarantee safety and comfort for allergy sufferers. The exception to this is carry-on food for infants under 2 years of age.
