Known supplier of in-flight supplies means a supplier whose procedures meet common security rules and standards sufficient to allow delivery of in-flight supplies to an air carrier or regulated supplier, but not directly to aircraft.

What does the designation process for a known supplier of in-flight supplies look like

To obtain known supplier of in-flight supplies status, an entity submits to the regulated supplier of in-flight supplies to whom it delivers (the designating entity)

  • a security programme,
  • a Declaration of Commitments – Known Supplier of In-flight Supplies.

Known suppliers must be designated on the basis of validations of the relevance and completeness of the security programme and the implementation of the security programme without deficiencies.

Why is it worth it?

Achieving known supplier of in-flight supplies status brings tangible business benefits:

  • possibility of exemption from additional security screening of inflight supplies before being taken into a security restricted area, when cooperating with entities applying security measures (known supplier – regulated supplier),
  • reduced operational costs through simplified procedures,
  • faster supplies handling and shorter delivery times,
  • strengthening credibility and competitiveness in the inflight supplies market.
