According to Mr. Fedorushkin, all the Kremlin lunches are prepared in advance and brought on board in sealed containers. The flight attendants simply open the containers and heat the food. “We have two floors on the IL-96, a kitchen on the ground floor and a flight attendant who is responsible for bringing the president’s food,” the pilot explained.
According to him, sometimes President Putin is not very satisfied with the food brought. "Once Mr. Putin said: "Let's eat this again!". He wanted something more delicious, more special. Eating it all the time is boring. It's not that he is not satisfied, it's just that he reluctantly eats, it's not delicious. Generally, during the flight, the heads of state eat very little. On long flights, they eat."
Mr. Fedorushkin also said that during foreign trips, the president's meals are taken care of by people who fly abroad in advance, buy food and prepare it for the return trip.
