August 9, 2017 – LSG Group has extended its joint venture contract with Sichuan Airlines in Chengdu, China, for a period of 20 years, culminating in 2037. Sichuan Airlines LSG Catering Ltd was founded in 2000 in order to provide catering services at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), the major international airport in China’s Sichuan Province (southwestern China).
Today, 300 employees there deliver services to an average of 120 flights per day for 29 airlines, including hub carriers Sichuan Airlines, Chengdu Airlines and China Southern Airlines. The contract extension not only secures the company’s partnership at the existing airport but also its presence at the new Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, which is expected to begin operations in 2023.
