BFCC intends to generate BDT90m-100m ($1.04m-$1.15m) annually, with an aim to increase its food quality standards. The catering centre has chosen an Italian chef and is seeking to introduce new menus on the Turkish flight.

In a statement, BFCC said: “Maintaining international standards, food preparation and well-maintained safe food system is the key to success of the organisation.”

“The company maintains its business reputation and has been very successful at arriving at Shahjalal International Airport and at Dushanbe with domestic and foreign airlines, providing drinks and services.”

In May, Turkish Airlines awarded a 15-year contract to Austria-based firm DO & CO to offer catering services.
