Beverages on flights

We refer to the letter "Sugar-free drinks" by Carmel Calleja (September 4) and note with regret that Mr Calleja was not provided with the beverage of his preference on his flights.

We wish to point out, however, that due to the limited amount of space in aircraft galleys, it is not possible to uplift large amounts of beverages. Uplifts are calculated on past consumption statistics of the different kinds of drinks served to passengers.

On occasion, some drinks are consumed more than others, unfortunately leaving some passengers without their preferred choice.

Furthermore, our apologies to Mr Calleja if there were any misunderstandings with our staff during his flight.
