Transcript | Pan American's new uniform 'aloft' includes a French Butcher's Apron for serving Marriott In-Flite dishes. Marriott Leadership In Airline Catering Strengthened Fiscal 1969 was the most aggressive expansion year for Marriott in airline catering since it pioneered in feeding the air traveler in the 1930's. In the United States the company expanded into five new airports, adding flight kitchens at Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Minneapolis, Oakland and Tacoma. The company also built an additional flight kitchen, one of the world's largest, at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, and added new facilities at Miami, Chicago, and Los Angeles airports. Major expansions to existing kitchens took place at San Francisco, Boston, and Caracas. New Foreign Operations Improving Six flight kitchens were acquired in Latin America early in fiscal 1969. They are in Mexico City, Acapulco, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, and Lima. Progress has been made in bringing these operations up to Marriott standards, and increased profit contributions are expected. The European operations, acquired in fiscal 1968, improved considerably throughout 1969. Sales rose more than 10 per cent, despite the closing of some unprofitable restaurants. A number of new airline accounts were obtained during the year, such as Western Airlines in Honolulu, Sabena and Finnair at New York, and Varig at several locations. Also added were several supplemental airlines in the United States, South America and Europe. This is a rapidly-growing segment of the international air travel market. Today Marriott serves almost every major carrier in the United States and other parts of the free world. In all, Marriott now has 44 flight kitchens 15 |
