How it works / from gate to ground
Making reuse
work across aviation.
The SkyCycle System™
Your operation shapes the solution.
Discover where reuse can work, orchestrate the partners and operating plan, then activate a defined pilot. Each stage is shaped by your operation, not a pre-set model.
Built around the realities of aviation
The complexity stays behind the scenes.
You do not need to solve all of this before speaking with us.
Orchestrating these moving parts is our role.
Service and operational workflows
Turnaround and team requirements
Passenger experience and return behaviour
Biosecurity and regulatory considerations
Catering and service partners
Collection, washing and logistics
Commercial viability
Data and reporting requirements
Simple for passengers
A simple journey.
A coordinated system.
The passenger experience is intentionally straightforward: receive a drink in a reusable cup, return it to a clearly identified collection point, and the cup moves through the system to be prepared for use again.
The complexity stays behind the scenes.

Frequently asked questions
The system should make the next step clearer.
A considered first conversation starts with the realities of your operation, not a one-size-fits-all promise.
That is addressed during the Discover stage. We consider service workflows, team responsibilities, and operational requirements before implementation planning begins.
Relevant biosecurity and regulatory requirements are identified as part of planning for each operating environment. The system and partner requirements are then developed around those conditions.
The collection, transport, washing, and return-to-service model is determined for each implementation. Sky Cups maps the moving parts and service requirements that a practical system would need.
Commercial viability is considered as part of the process. The specific business case depends on your volumes, current single-use costs, waste arrangements and proposed reuse model.
