As the facility largely caters for scheduled flights, with a particular bias toward long-haul flights and business-class customers, the production system favored is that of cell production. Alpha utilises two-tier stainless steel benches, each staffed by one operative, which can hold every requirement needed for a passenger's tray. The completed trays are then loaded straight on to airline trolley s, avoiding double-handling. A small amount of Batch Production is utilised when first-class meals and some special dietary menus are required.
