A catering cart stuffed with Pizza Hut pizza was a strange sight on an American Airlines flight from Georgetown, Guyana. There are many stories of pilots ordering pizzas after a flight is diverted. The pizza boxes are actually loaded into the galley carts so that cabin crew can distribute them on the flight.American Airlines does not offer pizza as a standard menu item. Last Sunday's Georgetown New York JFK flight was diverted. This overnight flight usually only has snacks in the back. American Airlines has removed the ovens from the coach galley so that economy passengers can't heat food on this Boeing 737-800 flight 2500 miles.The plane's planned snacks were eaten on Barbados, while it waited for takeoff again. So they provided food and catering from the terminal Pizza Hut. According to a spokesperson,Sunday's flight 2694, from Georgetown, Guyana to JFK, was diverted to Bridgetown (Barbados) (BGI) because of poor visibility at GEO. During the delay, packaged snacks that main cabin passengers would receive on this route were not distributed. American doesn't have a designated caterer at BGI so a local restaurant was used for the BGI to JFK replacement flight. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to customers' flights and appreciate the efforts made by our team to ensure that customers were served a delicious meal.A little over ten years ago, I was the pilot of an American Airlines Boeing 757 from within the Seattle airport. It was a charter flight (oneworld MegaDO), and the aircraft became mechanical. To make space for more alcohol, all catering had to be offloaded. The original plan was for everyone to receive full business class meals. This took a long time. Although there were snacks available at the gate, we still needed food due to the delays and drinks on board.During the delay, we drank the plane dry and raided nearby aircraft. To get more, a tug was sent to the airport's edge. I entered the terminal to search for food. First class received personal pizzas, while I bribed the bagel store to make all our sandwiches. This meant that they would have to stay later to prepare for the next day. The station manager pulled out his corporate credit card. American Airlines once again shows that it is possible to cater an entire aircraft from the airport's restaurants.
