Gate Gourmet Japan awarded Best Caterer 2017 by Hong Kong Airlines

Gate Gourmet Japan has been named “Best Caterer 2017” by Hong Kong Airlines. Gate Gourmet Japan is the first-ever recipient of the Gold award, launched by Hong Kong Airlines in 2017 to recognize the performance of in-flight caterers.

Gate Gourmet Japan was awarded with Gold Award in the category “handling more than 20 flights per week.” Gate Gourmet Hong Kong and Gate Gourmet Canada were also bestowed the “Excellent Catering Service Award” in recognition of their continuous catering support to Hong Kong Airlines.

Hong Kong Airlines stated that thanks to the efforts of its catering partners, they received the highest customer satisfaction scores for onboard food and beverages to date and were able to deliver exceptional operational performance. Hong Kong Airlines was recently recognized by the UK-based air travel intelligence company, OAG, as the highest amongst airlines based in Asia and second highest in the world.
