Helicopter charter company Apollo Air Services has introduced mince pies to its flights this Christmas after research suggests that it could be one of the best inflight snacks due to its spicy and intense flavours.
It is suggested that once in the air, salt is 20%-30% less intense and sugar 15%-20% less due to high altitudes. However, fruity aromas, acids as well as spicy and intense flavours are far more stable with Apollo finding the optimum altitude to enjoy the UK’s much loved treat is 3,800 feet for the best tasting mince piece.
To celebrate the mighty mince pie, Apollo Air Services has launched a “Mince Pie In The Sky” flight package for those wanting to beat the Christmas traffic and get home (or to a chosen festive location) in style and safety. The package is customisable to the passenger’s chosen take off and drop off locations, and involves a number of yuletide additions including a Christmas hamper filled with mince pies and mulled wine, decorations in the cabin and (optional) Christmas songs on the sound system, for a fun and festive flight to get into the Christmas spirit, whilst soaring over the holiday traffic.
