Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said the Cabinet yesterday gave the green light to the draft amended contracts concerning the services of the air catering operators. The move came after BAC and LSG Sky Chefs sought to expand their catering services to customers in other locations, including the Hua Hin and U-Tapao airports. “Earlier, AOT and both caterers had contracts determining that the caterers would operate air catering within Suvarnahumi International Airport only,” Arkhom said. Besides, U-Tapao airport, which will be upgraded to a higher level of commercial operations, has not yet had air catering services. AOT president Nitinai Sirismatthakarn said that the easing of restrictions under the contracts would help not only the air caterers but also the broader aviation industry.
