We don't believe catering standards should fall the higher you climb. Which is why we work so hard to provide the same quality of food at 30,000 feet as on the high street.

Alpha's dedicated development team does much more than develop great recipes. We also spend time talking to passengers about what they want, and looking at every aspect of inflight catering - even the effects of altitude on taste buds.

Our chefs take as much pride in creating wonderful meals in a 747 as they would in any kitchen on the ground. So it's no wonder we've won a string of awards, from All Nippon Airways' Gold Award for Best Overseas Caterer to 'International Indian Chef of the Year' for our chef Niall Gordon.
