Condor selects Bucher to supply A330neo galleys and stowages

Bucher Leichtbau has announced that the company has been selected by Condor to design, certify and manufacture galleys and stowages for the carrier’s new A330neo fleet.

Bucher says its first sets of the fully customised products were shipped to Airbus in Toulouse for integration into the new A330-900 and the airline has now taken delivery of the first aircraft.

According to Bucher, the cooperation between the companies was exemplary, with the entire project team working together efficiently to achieve the high customisation and design requirements. The Swiss-made galleys provide the best working conditions for the crew and enable them to offer optimal service to passengers. Passenger experience was one of the key focus areas for the airline and Bucher says it was able to create a feel-good experience through a clever combination of galleys and stowages, illuminated branding elements and the use of Condor’s unique décor materials.

Bucher says its galleys are made of over 65% aluminium and after a useful life span of over 20 years, these aluminium components can be fully recycled through a re-melting process that only consumes 5% of the initial energy used to produce the primary aluminium.
