Serving Items & F&B Service Equipment
The auxiliary service equipment that completes cabin F&B delivery — baskets, thermos flasks, tongs, trays and specialised handling tools built for daily crew use in the galley and aisle.
The meal and beverage service cycle on a commercial flight depends on dozens of supporting items that are rarely the centrepiece of a procurement conversation but cause operational disruption the moment they fail or run short. AMKO's serving items and F&B service equipment range addresses this layer: bread and roll baskets, insulated thermos flasks, stainless tongs and serving spoons, tray liners, salt and pepper mills, sauce pourers, napkin rings and the wider inventory of small-but-critical pieces that cabin crew interact with on every flight. The thermos flask line is sized for galley service use — sufficient capacity for a full economy section or a business-class cart, with pouring handles and lid mechanisms designed to operate one-handed by a crew member already managing a tray. Tongs and serving pieces are designed to a length and grip profile that works consistently in a moving environment with gloved hands. Bread and roll baskets are sized to nest or stack in galley storage when empty. The full range is available in stainless steel or food-grade plastic, with custom livery engraving or printing to match the wider serviceware programme. For catering operations managing tight galley turnarounds between sectors, having this category covered by the same supplier as flatware and holloware simplifies the purchase order structure and ensures finish and dimensional consistency across all pieces that share a tray or trolley.
