Delta Airlines refreshed its in-flight snack menu Dec. 1 for its domestic first class and Delta comfort plus passengers, and snack bars from Indian American actor-turned entrepreneur Ravi Patel’s company, which helps those in need, have found a place in the basket.

In addition to offering bananas and the airline’s main cabin complimentary snacks, which include Squirrel Brand almonds, Snyder’s of Hanover pretzels, Kind healthy grains oats and honey with toasted coconut and its signature Biscoff cookies, the baskets will include a line-up of customer favorites, and a brand which is on a mission to make a difference, the airline said in a statement.

Patel’s This Bar Saves Life raises money to fight starvation by offering tasty, gluten-free, kosher and non-GMO snack bars for sale at several top retailers.
