io Strengthens Expertise in Airline Catering Through ACA Membership

Since July 1, 2026, io has been a member of the Airline Catering Association (ACA), the international trade association for the airline catering industry based in Brussels. This membership underscores io’s long-standing commitment to the planning and optimisation of inflight catering facilities, as well as its close connection to the challenges and future trends facing the industry. The ACA serves as an international platform for promoting cooperation within the airline catering industry and represents the interests of its members before relevant institutions and regulatory authorities.

io has been active worldwide in the design of complex inflight catering facilities since the 1980s. Completed projects include solutions for renowned international airlines and catering companies. Our experience ranges from the design and planning of modern production and logistics processes to the development of efficient and sustainable supply structures at airports.

“Membership in the ACA allows us to contribute our many years of expertise even more actively to the international exchange of ideas and to help shape the future of airline catering together with leading industry players,” explains Julius Weis, Partner at io.

The ACA focuses on topics such as regulatory developments, food safety, sustainability, environmental and health protection, and the further development of industry standards. Through its membership, io gains access to an international network of companies and experts who are working together to find solutions to current and future challenges facing the aviation and catering industries.

By joining the ACA, io is further expanding its international presence in this market segment and strengthening the exchange of knowledge on innovative concepts across the entire airline catering value chain.
