FrumNewsEl Al Inaugurates World’s Largest Kosher Airline Catering Plant at Ben Gurion Airport
By FrumNews.com
El Al announced it had inaugurated the new in-flight catering facility of Tamam, part of the EL AL Group — one of the most advanced facilities in the world and the largest of its kind in kosher airline catering.
The new facility, nearly twice the size of the previous one, will enable the production of up to approximately 50,000 meals per day, almost double the previous production capacity.
“We continue to invest consistently and meaningfully in improving the flight experience, with the understanding that every component of the customer journey is part of the overall experience,” Levy Halevy, CEO of EL AL, said. “TAMAM’s new facility enables us to raise the culinary standard for EL AL passengers, expand our operational capabilities and support EL AL’s growth for years to come.”
“We continue to invest in enhancing the travel experience, with the understanding that every detail is part of the overall journey. The new facility will allow us to expand the variety of meals served onboard, further improve product quality, and elevate the culinary standard for EL AL passengers.”
“Behind every meal served onboard are dedicated people, advanced technologies, and careful attention to the smallest details – all to continue providing a thoughtful and high-quality service experience at 30,000 feet.”
The transition to full operations at the new facility will take place gradually over the coming months.
“The inauguration of the world’s largest kosher food facility is a meaningful moment for us, as an Israeli company and as those who believe in EL AL’s ability to continue leading,” Kenny Rozenberg, Controlling Shareholder of EL AL, added. “This investment reflects deep confidence in the company and its people and reinforces our commitment to continued growth and development. The new facility will enable the provision of kosher food of the highest standard to the international market as well.”
Tamam is a subsidiary of the El Al group and provides kosher meals not just to El Al but also to other airlines serving Israel. This parallels how it operates Borenstein Caterers in the US, which was acquired by El Al in the 1970s and is the leading Kosher aviation caterer in the country.
