US-based facility solutions firm ABM has entered a partnership with Charleston County Airport Authority (CCAA) and British Airways.
Under the partnership agreement, the company will offer catering logistics at the Charleston International Airport (CHS) in South Carolina, US.
CCAA deputy director Hernan Pena said: “ABM played an essential role during the design phase of the kitchen and has continued to show their commitment in providing a first class kitchen operation for British Airways and other prospective airline partners.”
Earlier this year, ABM assisted the CCAA to design and establish a new 15,000ft² of in-flight kitchen and catering facility at the airport.
As part of the deal, the company is currently managing CCAA’s facility and catering fleet.
It is also providing catering logistics including delivery of in-flight food, beverages and related supplies on the new twice-weekly, non-stop flights of British Airways running from CHS to Heathrow Airport in London.
