Inter-Roller Wins in-Flight Catering Project in New Doha International Airport
29 January 2008
Inter-Roller Engineering Ltd has successfully garnered a contract to design, supply and install in-flight catering system for the New Doha International Airport (NDIA). This is the company’s second project for NDIA. The previous project won was for baggage handling.
This is also the company's second in-flight catering project in the Middle East after the Emirates Flight Catering. The Company's excellent track records and proven performance for past projects has helped won this project against strong competition from the European suppliers.
Slated for completion in fourth quarter 2009, this QAR 43 million (SGD 17 million) project will see a handling capacity of 82,000 meal sets a day to meet with the future demands of the new airport.
New Doha International Airport's in-flight Catering Facility is a fully automated system, with customized design to ensure a seamless transportation of delicate cutlery and meal sets at high speed across areas within the facility. This system is RFID-enabled and it consists of 1.2km of conveyers, high speed lifters, Automated Sorting and Retrieval System units and Transport Units, all inter-controlled and made possible by Inter-Roller's High Level Control Management System (CMS) and Store Management Control System (SMCS).
The company's in-flight catering systems can also be found at various airline catering centers located in the Asia Pacific region such as Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), Korean Airlines, Emirates Flight Catering with handling capacity of 45,000, 37,000 and 115,000 meal sets a day respectively.
This project will further strengthen our position in the Middle East market and spearhead our efforts towards further expansion through our subsidiary, IR Middle East.
