Air Culinaire Worldwide is expanding its global private aviation catering reach with the acquisition of On Air Dining, the in-flight catering provider at London Stansted and Farnborough airports, the companies announced today. Plans call for Air Culinaire to retain the On Air Dining brand and team. The acquisition expands the ability of both companies to serve private aviation across the UK and in Europe, they said, noting that On Air Dining serves two of the UK’s busiest private aviation hubs. 
“With Europe’s private aviation market continuing to grow, this partnership marks a significant step in our strategic expansion,” said Air Culinaire Worldwide CEO John Lee. “With On Air Dining’s strong foundation in the UK and our global infrastructure, we’re perfectly positioned to scale up service across the continent while maintaining the quality our clients value.”
“This acquisition is a natural progression for On Air Dining and aligns with our long-term growth strategy,” added On Air Dining founder Daniel Hulme. “Our clients value consistency, flexibility, and personal service. Backed by the support of Air Culinaire Worldwide, we are in a stronger position than ever to deliver all three. With our team unchanged, our kitchens in Stansted and Farnborough receiving further investment, and enhanced logistics capabilities, this move sets us up for significant growth throughout Europe.”
These investments include kitchen upgrades, advanced ordering technology, and improved logistics infrastructure.
