Air France has introduced a new Business Class in‑flight menu for passengers travelling between Nairobi and Paris, developed by Michelin‑starred Chef Mory Sacko.

The menu comprises twelve original dishes covering vegetarian, fish, red‑meat and poultry options, with items such as lamb shank confit with spices and gnocchi served in a Provence‑style jus with gboma spinach, an African eggplant variety.

Chef Sacko, who has Senegalese and Malian heritage and earned a Michelin star for his Paris restaurant MoSuke in 2020, explains that the dishes reinterpret familiar African ingredients through French haute‑cuisine techniques.

The menu is being introduced gradually, allowing Nairobi‑origin passengers to sample different dishes over time as the selection rotates.

Air France’s regional manager for East and Southern Africa, Joris Holtus, says the collaboration showcases cultural connections across the airline’s network, while Nas Servair’s regional executive chef Gilles Pommier highlighted the team’s role in delivering the new culinary experience.

The rollout forms part of Air France’s 2026‑2027 programme to feature Chef Sacko’s menus at other sub‑Saharan destinations, including Cotonou, Dakar, Libreville and Lagos.
