Premier meals for top airlines and retail brands worldwide

Our story started in 1983...

Customer service is our core commitment and partnership is our operating model. We collaborate with each valued customer to address their evolving needs. Flying Food Group was founded in 1983 in Chicago with a single kitchen and one airline customer by legendary entrepreneur Sue Ling Gin, after she was served a half-frozen sweet roll on a domestic airline flight. She vowed to do better and she did just that. For over 30 years, Sue led Flying Food Group’s dramatic expansion.

Reliable, authentic and carefully sourced meals forge an essential bond between us and our customers. Flying Food Group consistently supports that bond with exceptional meals and service backed by an uncompromising food safety culture, continuously fuelled by innovation and new market trends and executed with best in class efficiency.
