SASCO Is Redefining What Excellence Looks Like — Starting with the Cutlery
Every detail in an airport business lounge is a deliberate choice. The lighting, the seating, the food presentation, the service sequence — all of it is calibrated to deliver a specific experience to travellers who have high expectations and, usually, a flight to catch. In this environment, even something as small as a spoon carries meaning.
SASCO — Southern Airports Services JSC — has served millions of travellers through Vietnam's busiest airports over more than three decades. They know what their guests expect. And they've decided that excellence, in 2026, includes the environmental quality of every item that reaches the table.
The problem with the status quo
Business lounge dining has long operated with a contradiction at its centre. The setting signals premium. The service signals premium. And then a single-use plastic fork arrives on the plate — a material that contradicts everything the experience is designed to communicate.
For SASCO, this wasn't an acceptable gap. Their decision to switch to BUYO biodegradable, microplastic-free cutlery across their business lounges wasn't driven by regulation or external pressure. It was driven by a simple standard: if it doesn't reflect their commitment to guests, it doesn't belong in the lounge.
"Excellence means more than exceptional service — it means sustainability built into every detail."
