In-flight catering logistics
Intelligent load unit handling for airline caterers
Catering logistics is one of the most time-critical and hygiene-sensitive processes in aviation. Airlines and service providers must ensure that meals, beverages and equipment are available on time, in perfect condition, and under strict food safety standards. Lödige delivers modular solutions that guarantee efficiency, transparency and scalability for modern catering facilities.
How Flight Catering Logistics Works
Flight catering logistics covers the complete journey of catering trolleys and bins – from inbound acceptance and cleaning to tray setting, storage and outbound delivery to the aircraft. Our systems combine hygienic design with efficient space utilisation, supporting both ambient and temperature-controlled operations.
By eliminating unnecessary stock transfers, integrating vertical and horizontal transport, and connecting seamlessly to inventory management, Lödige solutions reduce costs, safeguard the cold chain, and improve transparency throughout the catering process.
