IN-FLIGHT CATERING

If variety is the spice of life, then private aviation catering firms need to be extra resourceful: Serving people who are used to the best of the best is a tough task - not least when those people will be dining 30,000 feet above the ground. Yet several companies are working hard to provide delicious menus that work well in-flight – all in the best possible taste, of course. Liz Moscrop

There is nowhere that Chinese film star Jackie Chan is unknown. Such is his fame that people make kung fu movements at him wherever he goes – even in the middle of the desert in Morocco!

By setting the appropriate standard for safe operations and insisting that the aviation service provider apply that standard, a user of Business Aviation can enjoy a level of transportation safety that truly protects those passengers.

Where Are We Headed?

“Where are the aircraft resale markets headed?” is among the first questions posed to me in just about every conversation I have as of late. Don’t you know I wish I could look forward with complete accuracy 100% of the time? Then I might be writing this blog from a beach in some exotic locale as opposed to my present state of being crammed into an economy seat on a commercial airliner. Janine Iannarelli
