gategroup, the world’s leading airline catering and hospitality company, is proud to be working closely with Lufthansa on the airline’s Future Onboard Experience (FOX) initiative, a major program designed to redefine the long-haul travel experience across all cabin classes from 2026.
2026 marks an extraordinary milestone for Lufthansa as the airline celebrates 100 years since its founding. As a premium carrier with such heritage, Lufthansa aims to lead by delivering an onboard experience that is unmistakably Lufthansa, while continuing to help define the future of air travel. FOX is a clear expression of that ambition, combining innovation, individuality and premium service to create a more distinctive and emotionally resonant journey for passengers.
FOX represents a significant investment in customer experience, focusing on greater personalization, enhanced comfort and a refreshed approach to onboard service across the entire cabin portfolio.
gategroup has been collaborating closely with Lufthansa’s culinary, product and inflight service teams to support the enhancement of the airline’s long-haul dining proposition, with particular focus on Business and First Class. Over the past year, dedicated culinary development workshops, tasting sessions and operational planning meetings have helped shape an elevated dining concept that aligns with Lufthansa’s broader FOX vision.
As part of the new First Class dining concept, Lufthansa and gategroup are introducing a refined culinary approach defined by minimalist yet intense flavour profiles. Dishes are crafted around a small number of carefully selected core components, designed to highlight the purity and depth of each ingredient. The cuisine draws on classic fine dining techniques while incorporating subtle global influences, delivered through elegant, restrained presentation that surprises through balance rather than complexity.
Guests will enjoy a curated sequence of smaller courses, including a trilogy of amuse-bouche, starter and dessert. For the main course, guests may choose between a signature dish or a selection of smaller portions, a concept designed to feel both premium and surprising, while offering greater flexibility and refinement.https://www.breakingtravelnews.com/news/article/gategroup-elevates-lufthansa-long-haul-dining-experience-in-support-of-futu/
