From June 1, Rossiya Airlines (Aeroflot Group) will introduce new branded porcelain tableware for in-flight meals for passengers on all scheduled flights departing from Sheremetyevo Airport. The new arrangement for in-flight catering is a perfect balance of food quality and effective serving, and compliance with corporate style and safety requirements in the civil aviation sphere.

Rossiya takes care of its passengers. The airline is undertaking a large-scale transformation of in-flight service in order to improve the overall quality of service. The new concept makes flying even more comfortable, and will be a distinctive feature of the carrier on all routes of its extensive route network.

Thanks to an impeccably designed, user-friendly set of tableware and tasty innovations in the menu, passengers will experience true gastronomic pleasure during the flight, allowing them to start their journey in a great mood on board Rossiya’s aircraft.

The RPORTAL.aero system was implemented on all aircraft. Business class passengers can choose and order meals from the in-flight catering menu from any personal device, and Economy class passengers have the opportunity to preview the in-flight meals offered. The introduction of the new set of tableware onboard Rossiya airlines makes it possible to successfully implement the concept of restaurant meals on long-haul flights. The meals are not served on a tray at once, but are offered to the passengers sequentially. Meals for business class passengers are served by flight attendants, and the menu is supplemented with tasty and varied soups and salads.

The menu concept “A Thousand and One Spices” was developed in the Transpit in-flight catering workshop. It involves the use of aromatic roots, herbs and spices to improve taste. Selection of correct tableware contributes to the effective serving of dishes. The concept of the new collection is based on simplicity and modernity. The design takes into account all necessary requirements for use in special flight conditions, and safe and comfortable service for passengers on board the aircraft. The new tableware fully meets the corporate style of Rossiya. The design was developed with input from the airline’s employees. it is made in white and red colors, embossed logos have been added, and some items were supplemented with a corporate pattern graphic element. The new tableware consists of 12 items. It is functional and versatile, and each type of product can be used for serving different dishes. Plates with wide surfaces and high rim provide a large volume and the area required for plating the food. Items can be combined with each other, which is convenient to use. Practicality is an important quality indicator. The thickness of the porcelain has been reduced due to the higher strength of the material, which gives the dishes a sophisticated look, while avoiding the chipping or breaking if dropped. The size of items in the new set has been chosen taking into account the dimensions of standard buffet and dining equipment used on board aircraft.
