Equipment Management

Reduce in-flight equipment costs - outsource equipment supply chain management.

In today's competitive environment airlines need to lower costs while seeking ways to differentiate their service and offer their passengers the highest quality possible. Outsourcing the full in-flight equipment supply chain to an able partner allows airlines the chance to focus on their core activities.

At LSG Sky Chefs we have in-depth experience from managing the entire in-flight equipment stock for major international airlines. Over the years we have developed a range of innovative ways to meet the challenge of balancing quality with costs, so that our airline partners can enjoy the advantages of a balanced inventory of top quality in-flight equipment.

Asset transfer - owning the experience without the cost

More recently we have taken this process one step further with the transfer of ownership of assets from airlines to LSG Sky Chefs. Equipment, such as rotable on-board catering equipment and disposable items, is then leased back on an activity-based invoicing basis, which offers a series of benefits including:

  • Freed up capital that was previously tied up in equipment ownership.
  • You only pay for what you use.
  • Reduced costs while you gain a comprehensive view over which products you use.
