Phuket airport may welcome new food service

A catering firm is planning to open a second facility at Phuket Airport in order to meet growing demand from the increased number of flights to Thailand.

Bangkok Air Catering (BAC) is currently having discussions with Airports of Thailand (AoT), the operator of Thailand's six main airports, about the possibility of expansion that could lead to the company supplying around 8,000 in-flight meals per day.

BAC's Suvarnabhumi current facility has around 500 workers responsible for producing around 17,500 in-flight meals each day, reported the Bangkok Post.

Thavatvong Thanasumitra, Bangkok Airways' executive vice-president for finance, said the Phuket facility would form a key part of BAC's long-term plans.
