LETTER:Notes about airport food
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Egon Ronay
Sir: In the context of my having condemned three foreign airports in comparison with Heathrow, Simon Calder (Travel column, 20 January), mentioned that I have been working for four years for BAA on improving the standard of food (in 130 catering outlets).
My integrity has never been doubted and, on my comparative visits to Schiphol, De Gaulle, Frankfurt and Heathrow airports, a member of my special airports inspection team and an independent representative of the Press Association both took detailed notes of every tasting of some 200 food items.
The Press Association's man completely concurred with our findings. Our separate notes are available for examination and they would put Mr Calder's mind at rest.
Yours faithfully
