Emirates Flight Catering (EKFC) signed (17-Sep-2020) an MoU with CCL Holdings to establish a production facility called Kosher Arabia, which will specialise in providing kosher food at EKFC premises in the UAE. Production is anticipated to commence by Jan-2021.

EKFC will handle all food production, whilst CCL Holdings will provide certification and production supervision. EKFC CEO Saeed Mohammed stated: "We've been watching the global trends for kosher food, and with recent developments we expect that demand for kosher food in the UAE and region will grow quickly. Our partnership will cover all food channels and we will also explore opening restaurants across Dubai and the GCC". [more - original PR]
