I visited Qatar Aircraft Catering Company (QACC) which produces 200,000 airplane meals a day for Qatar Airways and all airlines in Doha. This vlog goes into detail on how airplane food is made through all the processes before transport onto the airplane.

My first stop is at the hot kitchen. Executive chef Decha showed me around the busy kitchen theatre with a lot of action taking place. QACC uses some automation to prepare food such as a rotating omelet cooker, grill bacon machine and special oil fryers. I also visited the cold kitchen for appetizers, salads and the pastry section.

After the food is cooked, it goes into chillers before arriving at portioning and packaging for flight. At the tray build-up area, new trays and portioned food were then loaded onto the cleaned trolley. All catering was then kept chilled before being taken by high-loader truck into the airplane. I follow the catering loading onto a Qatar Airways B777.

Last, I tasted some of the Business Class food at the catering center and met Qatari chef Noof Al Marri. She introduced me to her signature chicken machboos dish. At the end of the tour, I was shown how they’re treating all the food wastage from production by turning food waste into water.
