airport logistics Flight Catering Logistics An economic and efficient logistic concept that fulfils the special requirements of flight caterers. „Inventory management is one of the greatest challenges facing an in-flight caterer.” This statement by Audrey McCool in 1996 is still valid today in the airline catering business, because: Airlines are changing ingredients and products regularly. Caterers are likely to have contracts with several airlines, each of which is likely to have different product specifications. Product specifications are rigid to ensure airlines have consistent products on all their routes; so, substitution by a similar item is rarely possible. Running out of stock may lead to penalty payments or even loss of contract. Facing this reality, Lödige´s own inventory management system provides you with a solution that can meet the individual requirements of airline catering. We are a global player in the airline business for more than 35 years.
