Aviation Catering Galley Planning Software by IFCS
Galley X galley planning software gives airline operations teams a digitised 3D drag-and-drop builder for precise aircraft loading instructions. The platform automates plan versioning, runs what/if scenarios on cost, weight, and space, manages multi-leg destination rotations, and pushes real-time loading data to caterers, last-mile providers, and the cabin crew mobile app.
Create precise 3D loading instructions, run what/if scenarios, and automate communications for caterers and last-mile providers.
3D galley loading plans for every flight
Galley X galley planning software gives airline planners a 3D drag-and-drop builder that produces precise, container-level loading instructions for every flight — and distributes them in real time to caterers, last-mile providers, and cabin crew. Built for aviation since 2012, the platform understands aircraft types, cabin classes, passenger loads, routing, catering orders, packing standards, provisioning rules, service requirements, and the compliance chain that extends from kitchen production to onboard stowage.
The platform features a digitised, 3D drag-and-drop galley builder that gives operations teams a visual, data-driven way to distribute content across aircraft galleys. Planners apply loading standards to recurring flights, create ad-hoc plans for bespoke operations, stow belly content, and manage destination rotation instructions. Galley X allows for extreme flexibility, letting users build dynamically adjusting multi-leg loading plans and apply business-rule logic to assign those plans to specific flights. To ensure operational clarity, the software manages all versioning automatically and handles every communication of published changes — ensuring everyone in the supply chain gets the memo simultaneously.
3D Galley Builder
Visually configure precise loading instructions across digitised 3D galleys for every aircraft type in your fleet.
Automated Versioning
Automatically manage document versions and communicate published changes to all supply chain partners instantly.
What teams do with Galley X Galley Planning
Galley X coordinates complex provisioning logistics through six core capabilities used by airline planning teams.
- 3D loading instructions. Build precise, detailed loading plans using a digitised 3D drag-and-drop interface for aircraft galleys and belly stowage.
- What/if scenarios. Compare the impact of loading changes by cost, weight, space, and operational requirements before they happen.
- Multi-leg planning. Build dynamically adjusting multi-leg loading plans and manage complex destination rotation instructions for long-haul routes.
- Business-rule automation. Apply business-rule logic to automatically set standard loading plans on recurring flights or create ad-hoc plans for bespoke operations.
- Automated versioning. Manage versioning automatically and handle all communications of published changes so caterers and last-mile providers stay aligned.
- Real-time crew delivery. Push accurate, real-time loading instructions directly to the cabin crew mobile application and high-loader dispatch boards.
Why airlines and caterers choose Galley X
Aviation operators including Oman Air, Salam Air, and Transom Catering rely on IFCS to secure their provisioning networks.
Galley X differentiates itself from legacy systems like Paxia and CAE Flightscape through its enterprise reliability and predictive flexibility. Users can run what/if scenarios to evaluate cost, weight, and space impacts before executing changes. Built on a secure cloud hosting environment with modular access control, auditability, and an integration-ready architecture, Galley X provides scalable deployment across airlines and catering networks. As IFCS advances its AI automation, galley planning remains the operational foundation for smarter, faster, and more precise flight provisioning.
Outcomes measured by aviation operators
Galley X galley planning helps airlines and caterers track measurable improvements specific to galley loading and aircraft turnaround. Operators monitor outcomes including:
- Reductions in onboard galley weight via consolidated stowage and tighter loading plans.
- Lower fuel burn driven by optimised galley loading and weight distribution.
- Measurable reductions in cart-misload rate and other loading errors per flight.
- Faster turnaround when caterers and last-mile providers receive plan changes simultaneously.
- Improved space utilisation across multi-leg destination rotations and complex tail rotations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Galley X handle complex routing?
Galley X builds dynamically adjusting multi-leg loading plans and applies business-rule logic to assign destination rotation instructions to specific flights. Planners configure the rotation once; the platform re-versions the plan as the schedule evolves.
Can we test changes before publishing them?
Yes. The what/if scenario engine lets planners evaluate the cost, weight, and space impact of a loading change against the active plan before it is published, so trade-offs are visible to operations and finance.
How are caterers notified of plan changes?
Galley X manages versioning automatically and pushes published changes to caterers, last-mile providers, and the cabin crew mobile app at the same moment, eliminating the version drift typical of email or PDF distribution.
Does the software support bespoke or charter flights?
Yes. Planners can apply standard loading plans to recurring flights and create ad-hoc plans for charters, VIP services, or one-off operations using the same 3D builder.
How does the crew access the loading plans?
The Galley X cabin crew mobile application receives loading data in real time, including last-minute updates and destination rotation details, so frontline crews land on every flight with the current plan.
