This week, Delta Air Lines announced that Shake Shack burgers will be served on flights to four additional cities this year.
As of Tuesday, flights more than 900 miles from Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York-LaGuardia, and Seattle offer the fast food chain’s burgers in first class.
The action follows an initial launch from Boston in December. According to Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Service at Delta, the airline has since served over 10,000 hamburgers in the air.
Michael Kark, President of Global Licensing at Shake Shack, stated, “The response has been amazing, and we’re excited to expand this partnership, giving even more Delta travelers the chance to enjoy Shake Shack along their journey.”
What is included with the Shake Shack burger on a Delta flight?
Apologies, first-class travelers: The burger does not include fries. But the cheeseburger is a 100% Angus beef patty topped with cheese served on a toasted potato bun. Customers can customize it with toppings, including tomato, lettuce, and ShackSauce, all served on the side.
The meal also includes chips, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie, according to a press release from both companies.
“This is part of our work to partner with brands our customers already know and love while continuing to raise the bar for the in-flight experience – whether that’s making your favorite cheeseburger available at 35,000 feet, or ensuring you have a variety of fresh meals to choose from that fuel you on your adventure,” Laster said.
