Encalm Launches Skyplates for In-Flight Catering Operations

Encalm Skyplates Expands Aviation Hospitality Services

Encalm Hospitality has announced its entry into the aviation catering sector with the launch of Encalm Skyplates, a platform focused on in-flight catering operations across key aviation hubs.

The company said the launch is part of its broader plan to build an integrated hospitality ecosystem for air travellers by extending its services beyond airport lounges and terminal experiences into onboard catering.

Skyplates, according to the company, is a large-scale culinary and logistics platform integrating food production, technology-driven operations, and aviation-focused delivery methods. It aims to launch the service at key aviation hubs to serve both domestic and international airlines.

Vikas Sharma, Group Chief Executive Officer of Encalm Hospitality, said the initiative aims to create continuity in passenger experience from airport terminals to aircraft cabins.

He added that in-flight catering requires operational precision alongside service consistency, with the company focusing on maintaining hospitality standards throughout the traveller journey.

Encalm Skyplates will also focus on menu development, with a team of chefs offering a mix of international and regional cuisine. The company stated that the catering platform will be supported by a dedicated delivery fleet designed for aircraft-side operations.

Abraham Pothen, Chief Operating Officer of Encalm Skyplates, said sustainability and operational accountability are central to the platform’s development. He noted that the company is integrating responsible sourcing practices, waste-reduction measures, and energy-conscious infrastructure into its operations.

The company also announced that it intends to adhere to aviation catering safety standards and implement precise logistics systems as it grows its platform across airports. With the introduction of Skyplates, it is further extending its aviation services by incorporating in-flight catering into its current airport hospitality operations.
