The rising airlines' focus on the improvement of providing inflight catering services is boosting the growth of the market over the forecast period. Airlines use certain tactics to improve the in-flight eating experience as competition rises. From the procedure for placing orders to serving food, these techniques cover a wide range. For instance, in August 2021, in Croatia, Newrest began inflight catering operations with two significant U.S. airlines. The group started working with United Airlines and Delta Air Lines to offer inflight catering services. Both airlines receive full menu service for lunch and pre-arrival meals from Newrest collaborators.

Further, in July 2021, Delta's Newrest unit began its new in-flight food operations in Cancun. Delta offers flights to Cancun from many U.S. cities concerning Spring Break activities. The company's foundation lies in providing food and beverages to customers traveling in the Economic Class. First Class passengers receive full service, including cold dinner service. Eleven planes are loaded by the Newrest team daily, with an additional 13 flights on Saturday, making business with this airline extremely active. Collaborators are delighted with the arrival of Delta to Cancun and to fortify their connection to the big company. During the forecast period, these developments impact the market's prospects long-term.

Additionally, ready-made meals have boosted public confidence in in-flight food services. With ""free"" pre-order programs available for business and premium economy classes, pre-orders are rapidly increasing. There are fewer pre-order items available from some suppliers for economy class. Travelers are always made more comfortable and interested in the variety of cultural cuisine. These supported factors are boosting the growth of the market.
