Aviation catering — Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Korhogo (DIKO / HGO)
HGO (IATA) · DIKO (ICAO)
One runway of 2,100 metres sets the reference code narrow-body holds at Korhogo, which fixes the airframes our kitchen plans against rather than the reverse. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body-scale uplift both run from the same kitchen at DIKO, boarded airside and, where the airframe allows it, taken to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Inflight catering lead times at Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Korhogo airport
Ramp access at Korhogo is what a loading plan is actually built around, not the apron distance on a map. Each catering uplift moves from our sealed kitchen output to the galley door on a route agreed with the ramp before the cart ever leaves the building, so the sequence is fixed rather than improvised on the day. That sequencing is what keeps a narrow-body turnaround on schedule at DIKO, whatever the traffic on the apron ahead of it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Korhogo, screening, escort and apron traffic sit ahead of every catering uplift, and we plan the route against the worst version of all three rather than the average one. Chain of custody runs unbroken from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley, with nobody outside that chain of custody handling a cart in between. Galley catering is logged twice, once at sealing and again at handover at DIKO, so a delay shows exactly where it happened rather than being absorbed into the total.
One coordinator owns the load, from the seal to the signature.
Crew meals and pilot meals for DIKO / HGO departures
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Korhogo (HGO)
Airport catering at Korhogo runs from a single facility built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, rather than several units feeding the stand separately. That structure is what lets airport catering here move from a raw delivery to a galley-ready tray set without handing the load between kitchens. Production is run to HACCP standards throughout, with the cold chain held from the larder to the cart that leaves the building.
The team that handles government flight catering at Korhogo is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the airside route, and is trained to the household service standards a protocol movement expects. That continuity is what keeps a sealed uplift accountable from the kitchen door to the aircraft.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Korhogo
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire
Menus for Korhogo departures are built around the cabin and the mission first, and the season second, rather than a single fixed cycle repeated across every flight. Where local sourcing applies, produce drawn from the surrounding region sits alongside imported lines to give a menu depth without depending on one supply route. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin, from allergen flags to halal and kosher requirements, so a specification travels with the passenger list rather than the tray. Inflight catering at Korhogo is planned to that specification before the kitchen produces a single tray.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins out of Korhogo are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed set menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation boards the same presentation without a new brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at HGO run a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets and meal boxes, boxed to the roster rather than the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Korhogo are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it, keeping a religious or medical set apart from the general cabin run.

Airside airport catering at DIKO
Korhogo runs on a single runway of 2,100 metres, holding a narrow-body reference code that shapes every rotation passing through it: a documentation-heavy delegation and a repeat scheduled service are planned differently even when the airframe is the same size. That reference code is what sets the loading pattern before a single cart moves.
The uplift itself travels from our kitchen to the stand by airside delivery, escorted rather than driven straight across open apron, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover. Airline catering and airport catering at HGO both run off that same route, so a scheduled service and an ad hoc charter load through the identical checkpoint rather than two separate systems. Aviation catering and in-flight catering for Korhogo are planned against that one narrow-body stand pattern rather than against a wider network average.
On every rotation through DIKO we commit one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so responsibility for the uplift never splits between two desks.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire
01
Government and state flight catering at Korhogo
The 2,100 metre runway at Korhogo takes the narrow-body movements that carry state visits and official delegations through this field, and government flight catering here is built around that same traffic. Protocol requirements are documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared, and the uplift for a head of state movement is sealed before it leaves the kitchen at DIKO.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at DIKO
A private airliner working a household movement through Korhogo boards against the same 2,100 metre runway as any other narrow-body rotation, which is what lets a BBJ or ACJ-class aircraft be planned here without a separate ramp arrangement. Royal flight catering at HGO holds to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at HGO
On the single narrow-body stand pattern at Korhogo, charter flight catering for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions runs as a full cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet. Charter flight catering here is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, so a group charter boards in the same sequence as a scheduled service.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Korhogo
The narrow-body reference code held at Korhogo governs every scheduled slot through it, and our kitchen plans ad hoc airline catering against that same code rather than a separate ramp arrangement. Carriers running HGO as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed to the same multi-leg rotation.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at DIKO
A narrow-body reference code at Korhogo means business aviation movements are sequenced onto the same stand pattern as scheduled traffic rather than a separate apron, and private jet catering here is planned around that shared sequencing. Delivery runs to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled by our dedicated private-jet branch.

“We needed an airline catering partner at Korhogo (HGO/DIKO) and the support was excellent. One contact handled the order from confirmation through delivery, which saved our dispatch team a lot of follow-up. It made the station much easier to manage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Enzo — Flight Support Executive
“I arranged private jet catering in Korhogo for our departure from HGO/DIKO. Communication was responsive and the team handled a late timing change without any issue. I would use them again for another flight from Korhogo. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Tomas — Flight Dispatch Supervisor
“We had several special meals on our order at Korhogo (HGO/DIKO) and everything was handled correctly. The order arrived complete and the special requests were handled with the same presentation as the regular meals. A good experience with complex dietary requests. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at Korhogo
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Korhogo
What operations gets asked every week about Korhogo.
Ask operations directly →Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Korhogo Airport?
Yes, under a protocol built around per-passenger documentation and security-cleared staff, covering VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike.
HGO — do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft here?
Sealed carts move by airside delivery on an agreed ramp route, and where the airframe allows it a hi-loader takes the uplift to galley height rather than leaving it at the foot of the aircraft.
Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at DIKO?
Yes — the same sealed cart and cold chain used for an airline uplift reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal, covered under our FBO catering service.
How are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes handled for flights out of Korhogo?
Korhogo produces halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes on a separate line, documented per passenger before the tray is sealed.
What lead time does Korhogo Airport need for a catering order, and how last minute can a change be?
We work to a standard lead time for a full specification but can still take last minute airline catering changes closer to departure, depending on how far the load has progressed.
