In-flight catering specialist Air Culinaire has relocated its Teterboro, New Jersey preparation kitchen into a newly-built 17,000-sq-ft facility just minutes from business aviation hub Teterboro Airport (KTEB). The kitchen, now one of the largest in the company’s network, is nearly three times the size of the previous KTEB location, which the company had occupied since it began operations in New Jersey in 2005.
Air Culinaire's new kitchen features six-point ranges, high-thermal BTU grills, a new pastry rolling machine, blast chillers, and pass-through refrigeration portals to maintain cold compliance. It is also equipped with anti-bacterial floors and walls, retractable spray-down systems for sanitation, a Telematics system for delivery tracking and accuracy, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a custom ventilation system. The expanded facility will allow the Universal Weather and Aviation subsidiary to continue on its path of more efficient service while increasing product quality.
“The next chapter is here, and as we reinvest in the future, this facility reflects our commitment to creating a promising future for our team members and customers,” said Steven Roberts, the company’s senior v-p of global operations.
