Company brief
Emirates Flight Catering (EKFC), based at Dubai International Airport (DXB), operates what the company describes as the largest flight-catering facility in the world. EKFC provides inflight catering for over 100 global airlines flying through Dubai, alongside food services for hospitality, catering and retail clients across the GCC under its Foodcraft brand, plus events catering and premium dry-cleaning and laundry services through subsidiary Linencraft. The operation produces an average of 225,000 meals per day, employs over 10,000 staff (the company also cites a multicultural team of more than 11,000 experts from 50 countries) and runs an internal 2.55 km monorail to move trolleys and equipment around its DXB campus. EKFC is the dominant inflight kitchen at DXB, anchoring catering for Emirates and the wider DXB carrier base, and is positioned as a regional food-services partner beyond aviation - in 2026 EKFC and Bustanica (the Emirates Group's vertical farm joint venture) presented an expanded food-service solutions portfolio at Gulfood 2026 covering retail, hospitality and catering partners. Sustainability initiatives include the commissioning of a Power Knot LFC-3000 biodigester at the Central Commissary Unit, billed as one of the largest in commercial scale and capacity, with a target of reducing annual CO2 emissions by 2,000 tonnes. Subsidiary Linencraft achieved ISO 9001 certification in October 2025 (issued by SGS Gulf) for its commercial laundry operations. Distinct strengths include EKFC's unmatched scale at a single hub, vertical integration with Bustanica's hydroponic produce, and a rare combination of inflight, retail and hospitality F&B capability under one operator.
