Nicholas Rondeau, Vice President of Air Sales and Marketing at Flying Food Group (FFG), said that the company experienced “continued growth” in 2024 and anticipates more “opportunities for expansion” in 2025. He made this statement in FFG’s Winter 2025 Newsletter.

“2024 was a remarkable year for Flying Food Group,” said Rondeau, Executive Vice President, Air Sales and Marketing. “As both business and personal travel saw continued growth, we experienced a dynamic year with high activity levels, strong load factors, and increasing demand for our products and services. Given the trends in travel, we anticipate that 2025 will bring similar, if not greater, opportunities for expansion.”

According to its website, over the years, FFG has expanded its services and partnerships. In April 2024, the company began catering for Swiss International Air Lines’ new route from Washington Dulles International Airport to Zurich, Switzerland, marking a milestone in their collaboration. Additionally, FFG partnered with Hainan Airlines to launch direct flights between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport.

In May 2024, the company was honored with the PAX International Readership Award as “Caterer of the Year 2024 – Americas,” reflecting its outstanding service in the airline catering sector, according to Pax-Intl.com.

In September, FFG’s Washington D.C. area operations received the Instawork Economic Opportunity Award for its commitment to providing consistent and meaningful work opportunities for hourly workers. This highlights the company’s positive workplace culture, according to Instawork.
