Good food starts long before it reaches the kitchen. In this clip from our CNBC.com documentary, From Source to Sky, Yulia Bolotina, Global Head of ESG at gategroup, shares how we think about sourcing ingredients more responsibly, and why sustainable procurement matters in the way we bring culinary experiences to life. It is one part of a much bigger story: the people, partnerships, and choices behind the meals served to passengers around the world.

From Barcelona to Singapore, Catalan flavor is taking flight. For Singapore Airlines' nonstop Barcelona–Singapore service, Michelin-starred Catalan chef Nandu Jubany has created new seasonal Business Class menus rooted in local ingredients, regional character and the cooking traditions of Catalonia. Our part of the story happens behind the scenes in Barcelona. Working closely with Singapore Airlines and Chef Jubany, the gategourmet team supported the food journey through tastings, ingredient selection and recipe refinements, helping each dish keep its flavour, texture and character at cruising altitude. That is where airline catering quietly earns its place, in the detail, the testing, the adjustments and the teamwork that bring a chef’s vision into the cabin with consistency and care.

A new route always comes with a story behind the scenes. For Virgin Atlantic’s UK-Korea service, that story starts with the teams bringing the onboard food experience to life. Since the route launched on 30 March, gategourmet teams in Korea and London Heathrow have played a central role in supporting the onboard experience, from menu development and operational planning to the care behind each service. The food offer brought together the wider culinary direction of chef Hari Ghotra, with Korean-inspired dishes, drinks, and thoughtful onboard details, alongside dessert recipes developed with Chef Marie Meunier and the gategourmet Korea pastry team, which have now become staple products locally. A strong start for the route, and a proud moment for the teams involved. Read the full article to learn more; https://lnkd.in/epUz-YNr

A story made from who we are. Today, we’re proud to share gategroup’s new brand video — our most authentic expression yet of who we are and what we do.

Told through a cinematic journey, it follows a simple paper airplane as it connects moments, places, and hands — from sourcing ingredients to delivering memorable food experiences around the globe. It captures the scale of our operations and the diversity of our teams, while staying rooted in what matters most: people driven by craft, passion, and a shared ambition. It’s a genuine expression of how we continue to create value for our customers across our global network.

At gategroup, sustainable development is closely linked to how we operate every day.   As a global leader in airline catering and onboard hospitality, we continue to invest in the areas of our business where meaningful progress can be made, including the evolution of our fleet operations.   This includes working with specialist partners who bring the right expertise to each part of the journey.   TCR supports us as a key maintenance and leasing partner, helping ensure operational reliability across our ground support equipment. The vehicles bring together Mallaghan’s expertise in high-quality superstructure solutions with Renault Trucks’ chassis platform, supported by UP&CHARGE’s charging infrastructure to help enable the transition.   Together, these partnerships reflect a practical approach to more responsible operations: investing in the right technology, the right infrastructure, and the right collaborations to support the future of airline catering logistics.

Some partnerships speak for themselves. Aeromexico and gategroup have renewed their longstanding collaboration through a new three-year agreement covering 15 airports across Latin America, North America, and Europe. Built over 15 years of working together across international stations, this renewal reflects a relationship grounded in trust, shared standards, and a joint focus on delivering a strong onboard experience. Beyond the locations included in this agreement, gategroup also continues to support Aeromexico at additional stations worldwide, including Asia Pacific. We are proud to continue this journey together and grateful for Aeromexico’s continued trust in our teams, our expertise, and our shared ambition to keep raising the standard.
