Projects
LUFTHANSA - September 2012
Brown Sugar Consultancy Project managed the full transition of Lufthansa's First & Business Class food & beverage product & visual set up in both New York's JFK & Washington's Dulles International Airports. The project was smooth and well executed and took some 4 weeks in all, 7 days quicker than expected to the delight of the customer.
We worked with the incumbent supplier to ensure a smooth transition for both outgoing as well as the new suppliers incoming which happened over night with no effect to the VIP customers from these prestigious stations.
We ensured that the new products from the new suppliers met with the tender requirements and that the offerings to the passengers were at their best to meet with the high culinary standards expected by Lufthansa.
