COO Thomas Mützel-von-Schwartz was recently able to outline SkyTender’s vision in the trade magazine Onboard Hospitality. Under the smart headline ‘Wheely good ideas’, the trade magazine reports on innovations in airline catering:

“… a notable evolution has been achieved by SkyTender Solutions, which has developed new trolleys that serve hot or cold drinks. The company’s product is already used aboard Salam Air flights and several other airlines are conducting final acceptance flights this autumn.

“Our product philosophy is based on three basic pillars: sustainability, profitability and passenger experience,” explains Dr. Thomas Mützel-von Schwartz, COO at Skytender.

“Our beverage trolleys are the SkyBar Splash, serving soft drinks and water; the SkyBar Aqua, serving water only; and the SkyBarista, offering speciality coffees including espressos and lattes from leading brands. They enable our customers to serve a wide variety of high-quality drinks without plastic bottles or cans, thereby reducing waste by 80%, CO2 footprint by 70%, cost per service by 40% and simultaneously free up galley space. In the case of the SkyBarista coffee trolley it increases ancillary revenue by doubling the take rate.“

SkyTender’s trolleys also feature smart products to collect and provide reliable data for supply chain management optimisation, customer marketing plus environmental, social and governance-related reporting.

“For very good reasons, the aviation industry is considered as a conservative industry. Driving and eventually implementing changes needs a long and patient approach,” adds Thomas.
