The new Insulated Galley Cart (IGC) allows airline operators to load cold food at the catering facility and keep the food cold,both in transit to the airplane and for the entire length of the flight.  The IGC eliminates the need for onboard refrigeration systems.  This change in managing refrigerated food storage dramatically reduces airplane weight and airline operating costs, and improves airplane performance.  In addition to the monetary benefits, the weight savings reduces CO₂ emissions by 100s of tons per year.  This cart holds the potential to revolutionize the way in which food is refrigerated on commercial airplanes.
