TUI has backtracked after warning passengers that they were suspending food and drink on a number of their flights.
The airline operator revealed the sudden change to their service on May 5, which meant they would no longer serve hot and cold meals or sandwiches due to staff shortages.
The changes, which also included snacks and drinks on shorter flights, were to affect 15 airports across the country, and advised passengers to bring on their own food.
This included airports such as Birmingham, London Luton, Bristol and Manchester.
However, they have since confirmed the situation has been "resolved" and that food and drink service will resume.
The TUI website states: “We can confirm that the issue has now been resolved and the catering offer on board our flights will resume as normal from [today].

“We know how much our customers value the ability to purchase food and drinks on board and we thank them for their patience and understanding.”
Their statement previously said that "due to staff shortages with our catering supplier, there will be no hot and cold meals or sandwiches, and a limited offering of snacks and drinks, available onboard Tui Airways short- and mid-haul flights over the coming days".
They added that "customers may therefore want to bring their own food and soft drinks onboard (no alcohol permitted)".
