280ml Airline Aluminum Foil Meal Tray with Lid, Lightweight Airline Catering Box

This 280ml airline aluminum foil meal tray (model QL-AF135) is a practical, high-performance disposable catering container engineered for standard airline, rail, and commercial in-flight meal service operations. With compact outer dimensions of 135mm × 102mm × 38mm, a usable volume of 280ml (9.5oz), and a lightweight 2.5g aluminum foil lid, this tray is built to meet the core needs of high-volume catering while maintaining the rigorous quality and safety standards required by the aviation industry.

Manufactured from premium food-grade aluminum foil, the AF135 undergoes a precision stamping process to create a rigid, leak-resistant container. The tray’s uncoated interior leverages the natural thermal properties of aluminum, ensuring exceptional heat conductivity for even heating in in-flight convection ovens and microwave systems. This reliability is essential for maintaining consistent meal quality across every flight, from short-haul domestic routes to long-haul international journeys. The tray’s smooth, clean aluminum surface is naturally resistant to odors and bacteria, meeting the strict hygiene requirements of airline catering operations. It is particularly well-suited for serving light meals, snacks, sandwiches, and dry goods, as its non-reactive surface works perfectly with these food types without the need for additional coatings. The tray’s compact size makes it highly space-efficient, both in catering kitchen storage and in-flight galley ovens, allowing airlines to maximize meal capacity per flight without compromising on quality.

The matching aluminum foil lid for the AF135 is designed to provide a secure seal, locking in freshness and preventing spills during handling and service. The lid features two subtle ventilation slits that serve a vital purpose: they allow controlled steam to escape during reheating, preventing pressure buildup and ensuring the lid remains stable and intact throughout the process. This design eliminates the risk of lids popping open in the oven, which can cause food to spill or become contaminated. The lids are lightweight and easy to apply, streamlining the meal assembly process in busy catering kitchens and reducing the risk of errors or delays.

For airlines and catering partners, the AF135 offers an excellent balance of performance and value. The tray is fully compliant with international food safety regulations and meets the standards required for use in commercial aviation. Its lightweight construction helps airlines reduce overall aircraft weight and fuel consumption, a key consideration for modern carriers focused on operational efficiency. In an industry increasingly focused on sustainability, the AF135 stands out as an eco-friendly solution. It is made from 100% recyclable aluminum, a material that can be infinitely recycled without losing quality, significantly reducing the environmental footprint of in-flight catering waste. As airlines work to meet their carbon reduction goals, the shift to recyclable, lightweight packaging like the AF135 is a critical step forward.
