JAKARTA - Passengers of this airline get KFC chickens when traveling long distance flights, due to problems with food catering, so they cannot serve a complete set of meals.

Crews on duty on British Airways flights on weekends from the Turks and Caicos Islands to London's Heathrow Airport for 12 hours, faced with food shortage problems when the airline was unable to provide its regular food services, due to an "unexpected situation."

"Our team acted immediately and ensured our customers had something to eat," British Airways said in a statement.

Although the airline did not elaborate on what was provided for passengers, posts on social media showed airline employees providing Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) during a layover in the Bahamas.

BA 252 flights took off on July 23 from the Providenciales in Turks and Caicos, stopping atTENDING the Bahamas on a flight to London.

The airline refers to an unusual menu in flights in a statement.

"We apologize to the customers because their full food service is not available and we have to exchange it for snacks. We apologize," the statement said.

The airline did not respond to questions about what situations caused the in-flight food service to be unavailable. One post on social media mentions any problems with the cooler.

"Praise to the crew. They do what they can to serve their customers," a passenger posted on social media, as quoted by Sky News.

British Airways then gave passengers food and drink vouchers when they arrived in London, the airline said.

It is known, for passengers on long-distance flights, British Airways usually provides food consisting of opening dishes, main dishes and desserts, as well as snacks and second meals on longer flights.
