Europe Inflight Catering Market Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The European inflight catering market is projected to record a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period (2022 – 2027). The bakery and confectionery segment currently dominates the European inflight catering market. There has been a notable rise in domestic and intra-Europe travel in 2021, with a total market share capturing more than 60%. This shift in operations has changed the average flight duration from 45 minutes to 60 minutes. In such short flights, the guests’ preference change has led to an increase in demand for bakery and confectionery items. Among bakery products, sweet and sour bread, flavored croissants, and cheese confectionaries witnessed the highest market share. However, some of the airlines in the region are converting the complementary services into retail services, which may help the airlines increase their revenues and mitigate their pandemic losses. For instance, from December 2021, Lufthansa began to charge the passengers in the economy and premium economy on long-haul flights for mid-flight snacks and liquor as a part of their recovery plans from its pandemic losses. Earlier in 2021, the airline removed free snacks and drinks for economy class passengers on short-haul routes to support onboard retail service.<\/p>\n
