SSP Norway is providing inflight meals to SAS from Bergen Airport

SSP Norway has confirmed it is providing inflight meals to Scandinavian carrier SAS at Bergen Airport.

As part of the contract, SSP is managing every stage of the production and delivery process, from sourcing ingredients to loading the specially packed meals onto planes via bespoke designed high-loaders.

The caterer has developed tailored in-flight menus at Bergen, with a focus on healthy food options, locally sourced raw materials wherever possible, and stringent processes to reduce food waste. The contract sees SSP’s team producing 3,000 meals per week on-site at Bergen Airport.

In a March 3 press release, Bente Brevik, Managing Director of SSP Norway said; “We have worked with SAS for a number of years and the provision of new inflight services at Bergen Airport is an exciting next step in our relationship. Credit must go to our operational teams across Norway who came together to share knowledge and expertise to achieve outstanding service by our team at the airport. Our colleagues have quickly come to understand the complex procedures required, delivering excellence at every step.”

SSP is now looking to expand its operations at the airport, building on its established production processes and maximising the use of its kitchen facilities to produce food items for sale across the terminal. SSP will also be using its production facilities in Bergen to provide catering on trains in the region later in 2023.

A long-term is to expand provision of inflight meal services across Norway in the future.
