From Frankfurt it is Sohar, which has a Hechsher from the Frankfurt Beth Din. I am pretty sure it is Glatt. I eat it, and think it's reliable, though you can ask your LOR if you're not sure.
From Israel in Economy and Business kosher meals are from Hamasbia, which is Bedatz (v reliable). In F hechser is not so strong, only from local airport rabbi. If you are in First you can request 'Special Kosher' which is from Hamasbia.

Ben Gurion Airport is its own Rabbinut district. Completely controlled by the charedim. It was set up as its own district to manage the transportation of tumat met as air cargo. It also deals with kashrut airside of Ben Gurion.
It has complete control of air plane terminal docking, mafia style. Planes need permission from the airport rabbi before they can be bridged to the terminal.
Sorry for bumping this thread but it came up as the first result in my Google search and the question was unanswered.

Does anyone have up to date info on KSML with Lufthansa out of FRA? I see this topic has not been discussed for a few years. Who's the caterer, the certification? How's the food? I'm going on LH from YYZ - FRA - TLV. Thanks.

Pretty sure they still use Sohar, which gets mostly good reviews and has a strong hechsher.
