The coveted PAX International Readership Award was presented in Hamburg during the annual World Travel Catering Expo.

“We are honoured to be recognised by our industry peers for our quality product, service and innovative approach,” said Robin Padgett, Divisional Senior Vice President for dnata’s catering division. “Quality inflight catering is crucial to passenger satisfaction and loyalty and our North America team delivers that without question.”

The expansion will create more than 700 jobs with the company.

“Our expansion in 2019 provides an exciting opportunity to lift the level of airline culinary across North America and help our customers deliver the experience passengers have come to expect,” Mr Padgett added.
