This is a special feature from the November 2025 Middle East, Asia & Africa digital issue of PAX International, on page 10.

GIC International Catering has been named the exclusive provider for Air China’s Frankfurt–Chengdu route

Since mid-September, Air China has joined the client portfolio of GIC International Catering (GIC). GIC is now exclusively responsible for the catering on the direct connection from Frankfurt (FRA) to Chengdu operated by Air China. The long-haul flights connect Germany with the capital of Sichuan Province.

The meals combine European influences with authentic Chinese cuisine. For example, tender beef fillet with roasted potato cubes, buttered snow peas and thyme demi-glace, or aromatic Kung Pao chicken with crisp vegetables and rice. GIC places particular emphasis on quality, freshness and an appealing presentation of the dishes, which allows for moments of enjoyment in every service class.

"With Air China, we are starting an exciting new partnership that makes diverse flavor at the highest level tangible. Therefore, it is our goal to offer all guests unique culinary delights – authentic, fresh, and always with attention to detail," said Göksel Yildirim, CEO of GIC International Catering. "We are also particularly pleased about the new collaboration because our companies share values such as hospitality and a love for excellent food."
