AI That Knows Airline Catering
Generic AI guesses. Paxia AI is grounded in the most complete catering data foundation in the industry — 25+ years of operational history across thousands of aircraft — so every forecast and recommendation reflects how airline catering actually runs.
What Could Paxia Be Worth to Your Airline?
Tell us about your operation and we’ll estimate what Paxia Cloud could be worth. The value comes from four places: catering overspend you stop paying, invoice overpayments you recover, the fuel or freight value of a lighter aircraft, and working capital released from inventory.
Flights per day by length, plus optional spend figures.
Enter how many of each aircraft you operate for an exact weight model. Skip it and we assume a typical fleet mix.
These are the industry defaults behind your estimate. Change any of them to match your own operation, and your results update as you go.
Enter at least one flight per day in Step 1.
Enter flights per day in Step 1 to update these figures.
Estimate only. Actual savings vary based on your specific operation, fleet, and routes. See below to speak to Paxia about your results.
Every meal that never boards is food that is not cooked, not chilled, not flown, and not thrown away.
Tonnage and meal counts follow your meals setting in Assumptions. Nothing in this panel is added to the dollar total.
- 50%+ Efficiency GainRoll out a new menu, spec, or galley plan in a fraction of the time.
- 99%+ AccuracySpecifications and catering orders stay accurate across every flight, station, and caterer.
- Real-Time VisibilityTrack catering status live across every station, caterer, and flight.
- Fewer emergency delivery upliftsA shortfall shows up while the flight is still being planned, not when the crew counts trays at the gate.
- Fewer catering-related departure delaysCatering status is visible flight by flight, so a late or short delivery is caught before it holds the aircraft.
- Less expired stock written offStock and expiry dates are visible across every station, so slow-moving inventory gets used before it has to be thrown away.
Delivered by Paxia Cloud — not counted in the estimate above.
Every default in this calculator traces to a published figure or to a mechanism you can check against your own operation. Adjust any of them in Assumptions above.
- IATA — Jet Fuel Price Monitor Global jet-fuel price, updated weekly. The $3.62/gal default is the IATA forecast 2026 full-year average of $152/bbl.
- IATA — Global Outlook for Air Transport, June 2026 Source of the $152/bbl 2026 average jet-fuel forecast behind the fuel price above.
- IATA — Air Cargo Market Analysis Published global average air cargo yield, used for the freight yields, and the belly load factors behind the sellable share.
- IATA — Air Passenger Market Analysis Global passenger load factor, which turns seat count into the passenger count behind the meals term. IATA reported 81.4% for February 2026, a February record.
- IATA — Sustainable Cabin (cabin waste) Aviation Sustainability Forum audits: 0.94 kg of cabin waste per passenger, of which 23% is untouched food and drink. Context for what uneaten catering weighs -- not all of it is removable, since some was served to passengers who declined it.
- IATA — Recommended Practice 1726 (Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology) Section 2.3.3 sets the conversion used for the CO2 figure in the sustainability panel: 3.16 kg of CO2 per kg of jet fuel burned.
- Airbus — Can the tracking of in-flight catering improve airline sustainability? On the weight and emissions case for measuring what is actually loaded rather than estimating a maximum.
- OpenAirlines — How airlines cut weight to boost flight efficiency The cost-of-weight method used here: about 3.5% of carried weight burned per flight-hour. Worked example: 45 kg removed on an 8-hour flight saves 12.6 kg of fuel.
Method: freed catering weight per departure is scaled by aircraft class and flight length, then either burned as fuel at about 3.5% of carried weight per flight-hour, or sold as belly cargo at the published yield for that haul. The two are alternatives, never added together. Inventory benefit is the carrying cost and cost of capital on the stock released; the released stock itself is a one-time balance-sheet gain and is reported separately.
