US Airline Delta is teaming up with QSR burger chain Shake Shack to serve the brand's burgers at 30,000 feet to First Class customers on routes over 900 miles. The Shake Shack Cheeseburger will be available to be pre-selected as a meal option on flights out of Boston from 1st December, with plans for expansion to other U.S. markets throughout 2025.
The Shake Shack Cheeseburger features a 100% Angus beef patty, topped with cheese and served on a toasted potato bun. You can customise your burger to create the signature ShackBurger, with toppings like tomato, lettuce and Shake Shack's famous ShackSauce, all served on the side. The meal also features chips, a Caesar salad, and a dark chocolate brownie reminiscent of Shack Attack flavours from some of the brand's dessert offerings.
"A delicious cheeseburger is an iconic comfort food – our customers know that which is why burgers are one of the top ordered menu items we offer, and we're thrilled to elevate the offering with Shake Shack," said Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Service. "However, our partnership with Shake Shack goes beyond the burger. Shake Shack's people-first culture and commitment to enriching their neighbourhoods are spot on with our own brand values of service excellence and helping the communities we serve."
The collaboration between Delta and Shake Shack builds on Delta's longstanding relationship with Union Square Hospitality Group (USHG) and Danny Meyer, Founder & Executive Chairman of USHG, who also founded Shake Shack. Meals from Union Square Events, USHG's catering arm, are available on select Delta flights out of JFK.
