Travel company United Airlines recently announced its Flight Plan 2020, a strategy for next year which includes the addition of new vegan in-flight meal options.

美国联合航空公司（United Airlines）最近对外宣布了其“2020年飞行计划”（Flight Plan 2020）。这是该公司为明年推出的战略，其中内容包括增加新的机上纯素餐食选择。

According to CNBC, the carrier aims to keep up with evolving customer demands by “focusing heavily on plant-based options,” which United Executive Chef Gerry Gulli revealed will include red beet hummus with roasted vegetables; roasted curry cauliflower with whipped hummus and pomegranate; and vegan stuffed grape leaves (dolma)-infused (dairy-free) yogurt.

据CNBC（美国消费者新闻与商业频道）报道，这家客运航空公司旨在通过“特别注重植物性饮食”来迎合不断发展的客户需求。美联航行政主厨格里·格利（Gerry Gulli）透露，其中的美味素食包括红甜菜鹰嘴豆泥配烤蔬菜、烤咖喱花菜配打发鹰嘴豆泥和石榴、纯素藤叶棕（dolma）浸（无乳）酸奶等。

United is the only airline that operates its own kitchen and serves approximately 55 million meals annually. Gulli joined United in 1985 when all meals were frozen and its produce suppliers were limited.

美联航是唯一一家运营自有厨房的航空公司，每年供应大约5500万份餐食。格利在1985年加入美联航时，该公司所有的餐食都是冷冻的，而且其农产品供应商数量有限。

“Back then I didn’t think the meal service would ever be where it is now,” Gulli said. “Travelers wanted to get from point A to point B. Now cable TV and the Food Network has put excitement into food and made it fun. A lot of our customers are very food savvy.” 

“当年我也没想到餐食服务会变成今天这个样子，”格利说道。“过去旅客只是想从一个地方到达另一个地方。现在的有线电视和食品网络（Food Network）为饮食界带来了激情和乐趣。我们的许多客人都是很有眼光的美食行家。”

In July, United Airlines joined a growing list of companies to cut ties with SeaWorld by removing all mentions of the troubled marine park from its United Vacations website.

今年七月份，美联航度假网站（United Vacations）删除了所有提及“海洋世界”（SeaWorld）的内容，美联航和越来越多的公司一道与这家陷入困境的海洋公园断绝关系。
