Alpha LSG has opened a €12.2 million Premium Kitchen facility at Heathrow, which it claims will set new standards in airline catering.
The complex incorporates separate enhanced and highly-optimised production and logistics centres, the airport’s only dedicated Halal kitchen, a Japanese and Asian kitchen, exclusive Customer Lounge and a Culinary Academy.
Over 40 airlines will be serviced from the new centre which has a capacity for producing 76,500 meals each day.
Around 24,500 flights will be catered from the facility each year.
Axel Bilstein, Alpha LSG’s acting CEO, says: “Our new flagship London-Heathrow facility and Premium Kitchen brand provides strong proof of our strategic aim to become the UK leader in customer satisfaction as well as in cost.
“Our food innovation process (Culinary Academy), food production process (Premium Kitchen) and unique Customer Lounge will support our customer’s desire for brand differentiation, choice and flair."
The Premium Kitchen, which boasts a 52,000 square feet production centre and an adjacent 124,000 square feet Dynamic Logistics Centre with extra wash capacity and dispatch chillers, will commence servicing airline customers from early February.
