Peanuts / nuts free cabin environment

In the meanwhile, peanut/nuts snacks are an integral part of the Hong Kong Airlines inflight meal service.  In-flight food and drink services may contain other types of peanuts/nuts ingredients as they might be contaminated in a facility where peanuts/nuts are also processed.

It is therefore probable that traces of peanuts/nuts particles or dust may be present in the seat, common areas, the aisle or even the air.  Under the uncontrollable circumstances where suspended particles related to allergy remain in air or the allergens adhered to objects, complete removal of these allergens is not guaranteed.
