Flybe removes peanuts and nut-based products from flights
Flybe will no longer carry peanuts or nut-based products on board its own-operated flights.
The airline said it has made the decision ‘in the interests of passenger safety’.
Chief commercial officer Roy Kinnear said: "Passenger safety is our number one priority, and this extends across all aspects of our own operation.
"That is why we take the issue of nut allergies extremely seriously and, as an additional measure to those already being taken, have now removed all peanuts and nut-based products from our on board Café Flybe menu.
"We will also, of course, continue to take the existing preventative measures we have had in place for many years to further reassure those passengers who advise us they are at risk. Nevertheless, despite all the measures we might take it should be stressed that no public environment can ever be guaranteed to be one hundred per cent ‘nut-free’."
These precautionary announcements will continue however any passenger with a food-related allergy of any type is advised to always check product labels and packaging for specific ingredient information.
In a statement, the airline said: "Flybe hopes that, together with its existing precautionary announcements, the additional measure it has taken by being one of the first to remove nut-based snack products from all its own-operated flights will lessen the stress experienced by those worrying about a potential nut-related anaphylaxis reaction when needing to travel by public transport."
