TOKYO -- In the wide kitchen of Japan's largest in-flight catering factory next to Narita Airport near Tokyo, Filipino women in white coats efficiently put Japanese simmered vegetables into silver containers.
The kitchen's owner, TFK, was acquired by Singapore-based airport services provider SATS from Japan Airlines in 2010. SATS aims to double its non-Singapore sales in the food business by 2029. The company currently operates in 33 locations in 10 countries, and sells meals not only on board planes but on the ground. It is in this area, especially, where SATS is looking for new commercial opportunities.
