Etihad Airport Services Catering (EAS Catering) has been selected by government entities, business organizations and community centres, to prepare and provide meals to individuals impacted by the global spread of COVID-19.

The facility has been selected to support these initiatives due to its stringent food handling procedures.

EAS Catering is one of the only food facilities to achieve ISO 17025 accreditation in the UAE by Emirates National Accreditation System (ENAS). The facility ensures meals are prepared to the highest culinary hygiene standards through the laboratory testing of food, water, hands and surfaces.

Since the start of the pandemic, EAS Catering has cooked and delivered over 15,000 meals a day to people self-isolating or under quarantine, frontline medical staff, humanitarian drives and for various businesses across the capital.

EAS Catering is also delivering amenities and providing a laundry service for Etihad employees living in temporary isolation at Masdar City so as to operate essential freighter and repatriation flights. These include loadmasters, cargo agents, pilots and cabin crew.

In addition, Etihad crew living in company provided accommodation and requiring a meal delivery service are also being catered for free of charge.

EAS Catering is HACCP certified and Halal accredited by the Halal Integrity Alliance. In 2019, it received the QSAI Excellence Award for top caterer in the EMEA region for Food Safety and Quality. To further maximise quality, the facility hermetically seals dishes on-site.
