Mitigating risk

Joint guidelines on kitchen and service hygiene for a post-COVID world

The International Flight Services Association (IFSA) and the Airline Catering Association (ACA) have jointly developed and published new guidance to lead and support airlines and airline catering industries worldwide as they respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The document takes a pragmatic approach in implementation by giving guidance on how individual locations and situations can best be re-engineered to meet the updated health safety standards. It aims to guide mitigation based on risk assessment for catering kitchens and airline in-flight services globally.

IFSA executive director, Lauren Costello, said: “This collaboration strengthens the airline catering industry and helps equip it for safe global business resumption." ifsa.apex.aero; aca.catering
