Shanghai Airport International Aviation Food

Shanghai Airport International Aviation Food (SAIC) is a joint venture jointly funded with $5.3 million by the Shanghai Airport Authority and FRG in 1996. Located in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, its production building sits adjacent to the international terminal and covers an area of 7,700 square meters. It has more than 300 employees and can provide 6,000 servings of food per day on average.

The company has designed and built aviation food production buildings following the highest international standards in the food catering industry. The entire production building is controlled by central air-conditioner, and the indoor temperature is maintained around 12 C. All food is produced in a completely isolated low-temperature working chamber. Whole sets of production equipment have been imported from the United States or Europe, including refrigerating rooms, bread rooms, hot kitchens, cold kitchens, elevating trucks and quick-freezing equipment.

The company has continued to improve food quality since its establishment and has made quality control a priority. Its food quality and hygiene have reached high-level international standards. The company has served as catering agent for international airlines (e.g., United Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Air France, KLM and Singapore Airlines) and more than 10 domestic airlines. It has been repeatedly praised by the aviation circle for its food quality.

In addition to adapting to the rapid development of the aviation transportation industry and satisfying aviation catering demand, the company has expanded into new businesses and provides various food and drinks for non-aviation industries. Its main customers include Starbucks, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Ikea among others.

As an aviation catering enterprise, the company has built a favorable reputation among customers with persistent, high-quality food. Modernized production facilities and high hygiene controls guarantee food safety and quality. Its quality assurance and safety procedures are based on HA and HACCP systems of food production. To ensure the products conform to the highest international standards, microbiology inspectors and all experiment personnel test every step of production and operation from acceptance of raw materials to production of cold and hot food. Temperature and quality tests also take place during loading and transportation. Detailed test data from every step of the production process is kept to guarantee food quality and safety. In this way, the company has won unanimous trust and praise from customers.
