New Café Takes Flight at UK's Farnborough Airport

London-area Farnborough Airport, ranked as the best FBO outside of the Americas by AIN’s readers for more than a decade, has announced the opening of a new food establishment. Operated by in-flight catering provider On Air Dining, the On Air Café located in the FBO terminal offers premium takeaway meals to airport staff, tenants, aircraft crews, and visitors using high-quality ingredients that, in step with the airport’s sustainability goals, are innovative and environmentally accountable.

From items such as poached salmon salad, roast beef sandwiches with horseradish on sourdough baguettes, and chicken poke bowls with sticky rice and rainbow slaw to freshly-baked cakes and pastries and custom-blended Alchemy coffee, all menus feature locally-sourced produce from the UK. In addition, the cafe is making every effort to ensure the food packaging is 100 percent compostable or recyclable. In its “farm-to-flight” concept, the company even encourages crews to visit its kitchen and meet the suppliers to learn about the food they are serving.

“Working with a brand that aligns with our values and ensuring our customers receive the highest level of excellence has always been our utmost priority,” said Farnborough FBO director Dominic Osborne. “We hope the On Air Café will go on to be the beating heart of Farnborough Airport and are confident that customers will be impressed by their masterful menus and premium service.”
