Cabin & Lounge Glassware / Barware

Glassware selection in aviation involves trade-offs that do not exist in terrestrial hospitality: a piece that presents beautifully at 35,000 feet in still air must also survive the jolt of moderate turbulence on a tray table and the rigours of industrial-scale dishwash at a catering unit running three flights per day. AMKO's cabin and lounge glassware range is designed around that tension. The range covers four material tiers: lead-free crystal for first-class wine and Champagne stemware where light refraction and thinness create a genuinely premium experience; soda-lime glass for mid-range stemware and tumblers where visual quality and break-pattern safety matter; borosilicate glass for hot-beverage applications — espresso cups, teaglasses — where thermal shock resistance from cold storage to hot-fill is critical; and food-grade rotable or disposable plastic for economy-class and short-haul services where glassware breakage is operationally unacceptable. Contemporary design is a consistent thread: AMKO's in-house programme draws on hand-blown glass aesthetics — balloon shapes, drawn stems, textured surfaces — and translates them into formats that can be produced consistently at scale and nested safely in galley trolleys. All pieces are available with custom embossing, etching or printing to carry airline livery. The barware sub-range covers cocktail and spirits glasses, highball and lowball tumblers, and mixing vessels for first-class bar-service programmes.
