DHL Supply Chain and Asia-based food solutions provider SATS Ltd have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop bespoke solutions that enable airlines to optimise their supply chain for catering, merchandise and supplies across their flight networks.

Combining DHL's strengths in third party logistics (3PL) solutions with SATS' large scale culinary, procurement and last mile expertise, this new solution aims to help airlines enhance the passenger experience with a wider range of authentic food and beverage offerings and amenities.

Their integrated solution spans from demand planning, menu customisation and planning, to supply chain consultancy and reverse logistics. With end-to-end visibility, carriers will be able to achieve greater consistency, better inventory management, reduced waste and better customer insights.

Both companies have identified India, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam as the focus markets for the partnership.

"We have been providing a range of game-changing solutions to airlines across the globe, from inventory planning and forecasting using big data analytics to generating revenue from food waste. We are delighted to collaborate with SATS and look forward to launch new solutions that the airline industry hasn't seen," said DHL Supply Chain chief executive officer Terry Ryan in a statement.

SATS executive vice president Kerry Mok said: "SATS is advancing its vision to feed and connect Asia through our digital integrated supply chain, which enables us to provide our customers with seamless end-to-end solutions for their evolving needs."

He added: "Our partnership with DHL extends our global reach through reliable 3PL, allowing us to partner with airlines across their entire flight network."
