Airline food ... take-out?!

An airline is so proud of its in-flight food it plans to start selling takeaways.

Thai Airways is introducing a line of seven ready-made curry sauces to be sold starting later this month at shops in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai.

The company said its target market was the business traveller who had enjoyed their in-flight meal but had no time to cook Thai food at home.

The campaign is part of Thai's drive to supplement losses from recent political strife in Bangkok. It is also aimed at helping the airline standardise its Thai curries.
