Lufthansa to Save with New Inflight Service Trolleys

 This summer, Lufthansa will begin replacing its previous trolley equipment with the new Quantum Light Weight Trolley.

The new model will not only ease the work process for flight attendants but will also have a positive ecological impact as it is one third lighter than its predecessor and should therefore save about 9,000 tonnes of kerosene and 28,350 tonnes of CO2 annually.

Almost 30,000 new service trolleys will be taken into service on Lufthansa flights over the next three years.

The new trolleys have already proved their worth on board and successfully completed the inflight test phase. They will now be introduced gradually until mid-2014 on all Lufthansa's long-haul intercontinental flights.

The Quantum Light Weight Trolley was developed by LSG Sky Chefs, and is made entirely of light-weight composites and is the only aircraft cabin service trolley of its kind available on the market. It is manufactured by Norduyn, a specialist in light-weight materials based in Montreal, Canada, and an exclusive partner of LSG Sky Chefs.
