Meeting Airline Audit Standards for In-Flight Snack Co-Packing
Airline food and snack programs require a level of precision and consistency that few industries can match. Every product served in-flight must meet strict safety standards, fit within tight packaging guidelines, and hold up to the challenges of air travel—all while satisfying passengers at 30,000 feet.
For food brands selected to supply airline snack programs, partnering with a co-packer that meets airline standards is critical. That’s why Econo-Pak is regularly audited and approved by all major U.S. airlines—ensuring we have the certifications, processes, and capabilities needed to support the brands fueling in-flight menus.
Meeting the highest standards in the sky
Airline audits are thorough. From food safety and allergen control to traceability and packaging integrity, every detail of our operation is reviewed to confirm compliance with airline specifications and federal regulations.
Econo-Pak maintains industry-leading certifications like SQF and FDA registration, and we pair these with decades of experience producing snack products designed for long shelf life and stable performance in transit. For airline packaging programs, this means peace of mind that every pouch, packet, and portion is produced with care.
Co-packing solutions built for airlines
The needs of airline foodservice go far beyond basic packaging. Our team works closely with brands and airline suppliers to create co-packing solutions that address key challenges, including:
- Portion control: Snacks must be consistent, lightweight, and sized for individual servings.
- Shelf stability: Products often require extended shelf life without sacrificing quality.
- Packaging performance: Materials need to hold up during transit and on board while still being easy for passengers to open.
- Scalability: Airlines operate at high volumes, and their snack programs need suppliers who can keep up.
From mixed nuts and trail mixes to cookies, crackers, and hard candies, Econo-Pak has the capabilities to keep airline snack programs running smoothly across hundreds of daily flights.
Supporting growth for airline suppliers
We also understand that the brands behind in-flight snack programs are always looking ahead—whether that’s launching new products, expanding into international routes, or responding to changing passenger preferences. With high-capacity lines, a wide range of packaging options, and a responsive support team, we help our partners scale without compromising on quality.
