Innovative solution for chiller-free galleys and multi-segment catering. ARCTICart™ is a high-performance, insulated in-flight cart that offers exceptional thermal insulation for the storage and transport of chilled meals and drinks. Developed by Bucher, this in-flight cart does not require dry ice or maintenance-intensive, power-hungry chillers, which makes ARCTICart™ a reliable and cost-effective option for airlines.
With ARCTICart™, airlines can implement return or multi-segment catering strategies with chiller-free galleys, resulting in significant cost savings. The cart features high-performance insulation and an optimized structural design that keeps the initial temperature of food and drinks stable and low for over 20 hours, ensuring the freshness and quality of the meals served to passengers.
By using the ARCTICart™, customers can implement a return or multi-segment catering strategy, leading to significant cost savings. The estimated yearly cost savings per flight route range between $50,000 and $100,000.
