The global market for in-flight catering services is expected to grow, supported by innovative services offered by airline companies. Airline companies are increasingly offering a broader food menu and food customization options to customers. Growth dynamics in the global airline catering market are largely reliant on the health of the aviation sector.

Growing customer demand for nutritious food options, even while travelling, is driving growth in the market.
