Pretty sure its Hermolis, in which case Hashgacha would be Kedassia (Top Hashgacha in England)

Interesting. Funny thing is both Schalom and the Vienna caterer carry the same Hashgacha. (R Shwartz from Vienna)

Oops, you're right. I just rechecked, I got mixed up because it says Schalom Air catering and the hashgacha from Vienna on the same sticker.

Don’t understand why any airline uses them! They should be banned by all religious passengers till airlines stop using them!
