Catering
This business area comprises Finnair Catering Oy and its subsidiary Finncatering Oy. Finnair Catering is responsible for the logistics of catering services, for part of meal preparation and for sales that take place at airports and on flights. Finncatering produces meals for leisure flights and for European economy class, and supplies catering products to retail food outlets.
Changes in client airlines' operations have also affected Finnair Catering's activities. A division of labour that previously lay between the subsidiary Finncatering Oy, which supplied leisure flights, and Finnair Catering Oy has been changed such that in Finnair Catering Oy's operations the significance of logistics is given greater emphasis relative to the actual preparation of meals.
Finnair Catering Oy is one of the world's leading catering companies in environmental matters. Rapid changes in the operating environment, however, are setting new challenges to Finnair Catering Oy's environmental management system. The environmental impact of the services provided are monitored systematically and their effect on the environment is also assessed in connection with operational changes.
In Finnair Catering Oy and in Finncatering Oy, production has been adapted and processes adjusted in accordance with the Finnair Group's operational efficiency programme to achieve further improvements in efficiency. Finnair Catering Oy has some 700 employees and Finncatering 170 employees. |
