During the trial period, passengers can choose between a variety of freshly-prepared, healthy meals from the following well-known restaurants, all attractively presented and delivered in sustainable packaging:

Retail inMotion will support SunExpress in the partnership through operations management, order fulfillment, logistics and analytics.

Peter Glade, Chief Commercial Officer SunExpress comments: "If you are smaller than the others you have to be quicker!

We are proud that we have the agility and flexibility to be the first airline partner for Retail inMotion and LSG to trial this innovative concept."

"This is exactly the kind of innovative partnership that Retail inMotion is known for," commented José Lirio Silva, Head of Onboard Retail Europe at Retail inMotion. "By combining the high street data of foodora with Retail inMotion's specialized onboard retail expertise and powerful technology platform, we are able to create the ultimate product portfolio for our customers' passengers."
