FORMIA to offer branded amenity kits on board Malaysia Airlines and ANA

HONG KONG. International guest amenity and hospitality specialist FORMIA has announced that it will supply Malaysia Airlines and All Nippon Airways with a range of travel amenity kits.

The new partnership with Malaysia Airlines will see the airline’s long-haul flight passengers receiving a Porsche Design branded amenity kit which, over the next two years, will be available in eight colours. The hard shell case is made from the latest hi-tech materials to produce a durable and rigid holder suitable for multiple, long-term use by passengers after their flight, FORMIA said.

Each case contains various items from Acca Kappa’s Green Mandarin toiletries range. Bearing the recently re-designed Porsche Design logo, the cases will be customised for Malaysia Airlines with the inclusion of the Batik motif which represents the Malaysian heritage.

FORMIA Managing Director Roland Grohmann said: “Everyone at FORMIA is immensely proud to become a partner to one of the leading airlines in the world. These luxury, customised kits reflect the airline’s approach to providing the highest possible levels of customer service. Porsche Design and Acca Kappa are aspirational brands which are sure to delight Malaysia Airlines’ passengers on every trip.”
