4.29.26 – APFA DFW Base Brief – 4/29/26 LHR Catering Update

LHR Catering Update

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Dear DFW,

AA management has announced incremental improvements to the ongoing LHR catering issues, including the return of pre-orders and special meals in premium cabins beginning today, April 29, along with added waste support and revised cleanup procedures.

While management continues to frame this as progress, and while these adjustments may reduce some onboard strain, sadly they remain temporary fixes to a prolonged operational failure that has significantly increased our members workload.

We will continue to monitor implementation closely and push for a permanent, reliable solution—along with accountability for the sustained impact to our crews.

Respectfully,

Robin & Luis
