The British Airways was quick to respond to the reactions caused by a photo of a "disgusting" breakfast served by the airline to passengers who have paid for first class seats.
The photo of the meal in question was sent to a TV presenter, who in turn shared it on her social media accounts and claimed it was served on a flight from Abuja to London.
Twitter was understandably fired up as a first class direct flight from Abuja costs around £6,000. The presenter wrote in the photo caption: "#BritishAirways first class breakfast. Food for thought?"
Commenting on the post, one user said: "Doesn't warrant a first class meal. There are three things you almost don't recognize. It must contain egg because it's breakfast, but it looks like potato salad. These yellow ones what the hell are they? The brown thing? It's not black pudding, but what is it? I think it's tomato that's been burnt."
Another commented: "This looks disgusting. What is that grey stuff?", while a third wrote: "It looks disgusting," putting a vomit emoji next to it. The comments continued in the same vein.
The presenter revealed that a friend who had flown to Heathrow had sent her the photo. "She shared it because she was so disgusted she didn't expect it to go viral," she explained.
A British Airways spokesperson speaking to LADbible about the issue which went viral, apologised saying: "We are talking to third party caterers to understand what happened here. This clearly does not meet our usual high standards. We regret that we have let our customers down in this case."
