We also work directly with customers to discuss additional sourcing requirements when a specific product, portion, preparation, or presentation is needed.
Specialty Meat & Lobster Products
Airline catering programs may require proteins in a range of formats depending on how they will be prepared and served. Sliced and cured meats can be used for appetizers, sandwiches, charcuterie-style presentations, and other cold dishes, while lobster can provide a versatile component for premium appetizers, lobster rolls, entrées, and other menu concepts.NED works with specialty suppliers to provide products that support both culinary creativity and the practical requirements of aviation catering. Available options can be discussed based on product type, portion requirements, packaging, quantities, and the intended inflight application.
Products for Different Inflight Menus
There is no single product mix that works for every airline. Menu requirements can vary considerably according to route, service length, cabin class, passenger profile, and the overall dining concept.Our team works with airline caterers and other aviation foodservice customers to understand those requirements and identify suitable products. Whether you are developing a new menu, reviewing an existing program, or looking for a specific meat or seafood component, NED can work with our supplier network to explore available options.

NED combines supplier relationships with an established distribution network serving aviation catering locations throughout North America.Our network supports ambient, chilled, and frozen distribution, helping us accommodate different food products and storage requirements. From specialty cured meats to lobster components, we coordinate sourcing and distribution with the goal of making the process simpler for our customers.
