Government Schemes to Make Flying More Affordable Coupled Up with Automation of In-Flight Catering System will Boost the Market’s Growth

Published: May 2023

The global in-flight catering market size was valued at $17.5 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $26.2 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Government schemes that allow individuals to travel through the air effortlessly and at low costs is a key factor boosting the market’s growth. For instance, in January 2023, to make air travel more affordable in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's NDA administration introduced the UDAN Scheme 2023. People in tier 2 and tier 3 cities may now travel for as little as INR 2,500 ($30.42) per hour under the new UDAN plan. Additionally, International & Domestic Airlines are making flying more affordable and convenient in the form of low fares, which further increases the flight passenger traffic and in turn adds to the growth of the global in-flight catering market.

Airlines are also delivering a richer customer experience as the in-flight catering system becomes more automated and catering management improves. Airlines are always looking for specialized options for prospective onboard customers, such as pre-ordered food services. American Airlines extended its pre-ordered food option to premium-class guests on domestic American Eagle flights in February 2020. The service seeks to provide travelers with meals tailored to their exact location. This, in turn, is likely to boost market expansion. Moreover, the majority of airline caterers and in-flight catering service providers are aiming to enhance their supply chain management (SCM) in order to create high-quality commodities while conducting efficient in-flight catering operations. For instance, in June 2021, Newrest negotiated a new partnership for in-flight food with American Airlines. The company's in-flight catering standards enable the teams to provide the highest degree of food safety, including HACCP tracking of food manufacturing and end-to-end cold chain management.
