Phil Doxon Development Chef at Monty’s Bakehouse | Monty’s Bakehouse

The aviation industry has undergone significant changes over the years, particularly in the area of onboard snacking. Once limited to basic options like peanuts and pretzels, in-flight snacks have now become an important part of the passenger experience. Airlines are increasingly focused on innovation, sustainability, and culinary excellence to enhance this aspect of travel.

Monty's Bakehouse, a UK-based company founded on November 1, 2003, is a key player in the onboard catering sector. The company has been supplying snacks to the commercial aviation industry for more than two decades from its headquarters in South Nutfield, Surrey. Monty's Bakehouse CEO Jeff Swan oversees operations that aim to meet evolving passenger expectations.

Phil Doxon, Development Chef at Monty’s Bakehouse, emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices: "Innovations like ovenable, compostable packaging designed to be disposed of with food waste are helping to reduce the overall impact of our onboard snacks." This focus on sustainability aligns with growing environmental awareness among passengers who prefer airlines that actively reduce their ecological footprint.

Customer feedback plays a crucial role in product development at Monty’s Bakehouse. By conducting annual surveys, the company seeks to understand airline and passenger needs better. This approach has led to innovative snack ranges offering unique onboard experiences.

Phil Dixon from Monty’s highlights this innovation: "Passengers are increasingly seeking familiar flavours they love but with a unique twist that enhances their in-flight experience. That’s exactly what we’ve created with our new range – classic profiles reimagined with bold, contemporary flavours to deliver a one-of-a-kind, ‘only-onboard’ indulgence."

Looking ahead, snack-meals will continue shaping passenger experiences as airlines and suppliers embrace trends such as authentic products made with locally sourced ingredients and personalized offerings tailored to individual tastes. As demand for variety and quality grows alongside sustainability concerns, future onboard snacks will offer comfort and delight at cruising altitudes.
