The three companies\u2019 innovative solution will be gradually introduced in new markets, bringing high-end, creative meals and snacks to airline passengers around the world. The partnership marks a significant shift in inflight food and beverage supply.<\/p>\n
Passengers flying from Schiphol Airport can already pre-order meals through the \u2018Takeaway\u2019 app up to one hour before boarding. Customers can choose from a range of fresh salads, poke bowls, sushi platters and delicious hot meals and have their order delivered to the aircraft prior to departure.<\/p>\n
Transavia, part of the Air France-KLM Group, launched the service from Schiphol Airport in September, with a planned roll out to more Transavia destinations in the near future.<\/p>\n
Robin Padgett, Divisional Senior Vice President of dnata\u2019s catering division<\/b>, said the initiative opened up the global airline food and beverage market to high-street brands, labelling it a step-change in the inflight dining experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cApp-led food delivery services continue to grow immensely across the world, with the ease of use, choice of cuisine and loyalty driving incredible consumer uptake.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy partnering with the leader in this field, we\u2019re able to deliver exactly what customers want to their seat. Passengers are no longer restricted to what\u2019s available in the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis model enables our airline partners to offer their passengers a wider choice of fresh, healthy food and reduce wastage on-board.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jaap Roukens, the founder of iFLEAT<\/b>, added: \u201cMy focus has always been on improving the passenger experience. With this new service offering and through technology, we\u2019re putting choice in the customers\u2019 hands and delivering a revenue-generating service for airlines, while also reducing food waste on board.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to now expand this pre-order service to dnata\u2019s more than 120 locations across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
The time taken between placing an order and delivery to the passenger on-board is in-line or quicker than expected delivery times in many city environments.<\/p>\n
dnata and iFLEAT are now planning a further rollout of this innovative service which is a perfect complement to existing inflight retail and catering services.<\/p>\n
dnata provides reliable and safe air services to over 300 airlines around the world. The company\u2019s catering division has a dedicated team of employees delivering high-quality catering, inflight retail and food & beverage solutions from 65 facilities in 12 countries.<\/p>\n
