“We pride ourselves on being a successful British company, jointly owned and run by a female entrepreneur,” says Alison Wells, Co-Director, Plane Talking Products. “We choose our partners carefully and work only with companies whose vision on social and environmental issues is aligned with ours.”
Dining, tableware and textiles
Plane Talking Products also recently
announced an exclusive partnership with Steelite International for
tableware for the aviation sector.
“This collaboration significantly extends our product range and enables us to access a wide range of brands as well as the latest trends and design inspiration for premium tableware,” says Wells.
The full range of products, including new tableware, cutlery and glassware items, will be on display at booth 4C10.
PTP is also entering the “smart” realm with new textiles. The range of Premium Textiles includes an “infused” range, using the latest technology in sleep innovations. The collection features pillows, duvets, mattresses and blankets that improve sleep, reduce jetlag, ease stress and protect against allergens and bacteria.
The company also offers a range of more sustainable Premium Economy and Economy textiles, as well as a fully vegan suite of products and a certified Ocean Bound textile range.
Aviation Sustainability
Forum
Plane Talking Products is also an active
member of the Aviation Sustain-
ability Forum (ASF), which will be
part of the World Travel Catering and Onboard Services Expo events
taking place in Hamburg this week.
Recently, Wells supported the ASF in delivering the Cabin Waste Composition Audit Program in Singapore, supported by IATA and facilitated by SATS Catering. The results of the audit will be published at WTCE 2024, delivering an overview of the financial and environmental consequences of inflight waste and discovering potential solutions to scale the issue, Wells explains.
