Today Aer Lingus and the EAZYway team have signed a Letter of Intent for an operational lease for
approximately 3000 AeroCat Atlas trolleys. AeroCat, together with Econocom and Zetes, developed
their airline catering innovation concept named ‘TheEAZYway’ including full polymer, RFID equipped
catering trolleys, RFID infrastructure & software and its finance.

The business of AeroCat – powered by the international market leaders Solvay, Bemis, Zetes, Econocom and the
gategroup – focus on the optimization and innovation of the airline catering process and taking better care for the
environment. AeroCat’s CEO Theo Alsemgeest says “We fully agree with our market competitors that our
customers are in favor of composite or full polymer trolleys if we could offer those in a more attractive economic
way. That’s why we created our EAZYway concept, offering a full operational catering lease concept at a cost
level even more attractive than buying a low priced lightweight aluminum trolley. That’s our vision on catering
innovation & customer convenience: A greener and optimized catering operation without additional
investments”

Aidan Power, Director of Catering in flight services of Aer Lingus says “Aer Lingus has worked closely with
AeroCat and the EAZYway team over the last few months to build and refine a product and package that works
for all our internal stakeholders. The environmental story surrounding this breakthrough in the design and
manufacture of this galley equipment is compelling and is something that EI is keen to be involved with. We
foresee, on the horizon, a significant change with regard to the overall concept behind aircraft galley design and
believe that the flexible lease model we are working towards with the EAZYway team will enable us to plan
ahead and keep our options open in this regard. Aer Lingus looks forward to using the AeroCat lightweight carts
onboard our fleet”.

During the last months Aer Lingus and the EAZYway team have worked closely together to understand the
benefits to implement the concept. Theo Alsemgeest, CEO of AeroCat says: “Added value of concepts will only
be valued if those values are recognized. It was great to work with Aer Lingus and to understand how the
concept values could work for them. The innovative mindset of the Aer Lingus organization was impressive. Aer
Lingus is showing leadership and environmental responsibility and we are honored to assist them”.
