KLM-Royal Dutch Airlines serves kosher meals upon request. KLM is currently purchasing kosher meals through two suppliers for outbound flights from the Netherlands. However, KLM is interested in locating a U.S. supplier that could provide sterilized (to extend shelf-life) hot and cold kosher meals for flights not originating in the Netherlands.
The estimated annual sales value for kosher meals on KLM flights originating outside of the Netherlands is roughly $300,000. Meal delivery would take place in the United States. Interested U.S. companies should contact:
