Expanding nationwide

We operare catering facilities across the U.S and see it as a core growth market in 2019 and beyond. We have been operating one unit in the U.S since 2010. In 2018 our current expansion commenced, with the acquisition of New York-headquartered 121 Inflight Catering. Since that acquisition we have opened multiple new units, focused initially on securing long-haul customers but equipped to provide all inflight catering and inflight retail services.

From our owned units we directly serve a wider network of airports through partner caterers, primarily in the growing VIP and private aviation sector – an area where we are a leader in the U.S market. We act as the central caterer for FBO and charter aircraft operators across the U.S – providing a single point of contact for aircraft operators and managing all their requirements across the country. This ‘one stop shop’ approach ensures consistent menus are provided at every point of departure, that billing is centralised and that all processes are familiar. Operators can trust us to manage their requirements from end-to-end.

Driving success across all these areas of business is an unwavering focus on quality – hiring and developing the best talent – and a willingness to invest. We will continue to invest significantly in the US market for as long as our customers ask us to.
