Air Algérie Catering

Air Algérie Catering SPA is a 100% subsidiary of Air Algérie, the national airline of Algeria. The company specialises in airline catering — the preparation and supply of meals and beverages for Air Algérie flights as well as for other airlines operating from Algerian airports. Its main objective is to guarantee food quality and safety while meeting international in-flight service standards. The catering division was previously integrated within Air Algérie. On 1 January 2015 it was spun off into the newly formed Air Algérie Catering. The company is located within Algiers Airport, about 1,000 metres from the aircraft parking area. It operates at 13 airports across Algeria and is a joint-stock company (société par actions) headquartered at Algiers Airport. Beyond core in-flight catering, Air Algérie Catering provides associated services such as on-board duty free for Air Algérie aircraft, charter, VIP and VVIP flight handling, ground handling, and catering for events and other support services. It also supplies Air Algérie first-class lounges and various airport lounges in Algeria, including in Oran, Constantine and Annaba. Air Algérie Catering works with more than fifteen airlines, supplying meals not only to Air Algérie but also to Air Canada, Emirates, Egyptair, Tassili Airlines, Air France, Iberia, Tunisair, Turkish Airlines, Royal Jordanian and SNTF, as well as to companies outside the airline sector such as Mobilis. The company produces 15,000 meal trays per day, has a capacity of 20,000 units and an average production utilisation of around 60%. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and uses 80% fresh products. It produces starters, hot dishes, sandwiches, desserts, bread and pastries for Air Algérie and its clients, all prepared on site by chefs trained in hotel schools. Personalised meals are also available, including low-salt, special, gluten-free, vegetarian and baby menus. Air Algérie Catering holds ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certification.
