Each airline's menu is designed and cooked according to the airline's exact specifications. Guided by our client’s chefs and menu development teams, our dishes are prepared to meet every airlines individual Demand.
	ATS chefs and cooks are always keen to go the extra mile and prove their exceptional abilities. Whether we’re creating authentic eastern flavours for our Japanese and Korean services or presenting our famous local Fiji curry experience, the expertise and innovation are indisputable. Hygiene audits and Microbiological testing are regularly carried out by our client airlines sometimes in conjunction with the Institute of Applied Science at the University of the South Pacific to ensure hygiene standards are met at all times. In addition, our Health and Safety standards are strongly monitored by relevant government ministries to conform to legislations of Occupational Health and Safety and the 2003 Food Safety Act.

Naturally, because of our multi-racial and multi-denominational society, the department takes into account dietary requirements and religious beliefs when it comes to menu formation.
