Free From and Special Meals suppliers
Countdown to the event
TickEat is launching a brand-new Meet the Buyer: SPMLs Travel Edition, designed to connect travel buyers with food and drink suppliers specialising in Free From and Special Meals.
With special meals now accounting for a significant share of onboard catering, passenger demand is rising faster than innovation across airlines, rail, cruise and travel retail. Yet choice, consistency and quality remain limited. This event creates a focused platform for buyers seeking scalable, clearly labelled and compliant SPML solutions, and for suppliers ready to meet this growing need.
