“From the very beginning that we worked with LSG Sky Chefs on the classic-catering offer, we realized that our companies were a good fit,” added Algernon Yau, CEO of Greater Bay Airlines. “Retail inMotion is the expert and market leader in OBR and is the partner of choice for our onboard-retail program offering to our passengers. We are looking forward to a strong and trusting cooperation starting this summer."
