Aviation catering — Sirt, Libya
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Sirt (HLGD / SRX)
SRX (IATA) · HLGD (ICAO)
Our crews work the wide-body reference code held at Sirt (HLGD), boarding three cabins on stands built for scheduled, charter and government movements. Inflight catering here runs from a sealed kitchen to the galley door by hi-loader, uplift held on cold chain across every rotation, in-flight catering matched to whichever mission the apron schedules next.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at Sirt, Libya
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Sirt airport
Ramp access at Sirt is planned before the cart ever leaves the kitchen, sequenced to whichever wide-body stand the reference code has assigned. Every catering uplift is logged at the seal and again at the apron gate, so the window is a measured interval rather than a promise. What moves across the apron is tracked from the moment it clears the kitchen door to the moment it clears the aircraft's.
Between our kitchen and the stand at HLGD sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and none of them are treated as a formality on a wide-body rotation. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest version of that route, not the easiest, so a delay on the ramp does not become a delay at the galley door. Chain of custody runs on paper as much as on temperature: the cart is sealed once at the kitchen, checked again on the apron, and every stage of that galley catering movement carries a signature before it goes further. Two readings close the loop, one at sealing and one at handover, and both sit against the same log the crew signs when the load is accepted at the aircraft.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the signature at the aircraft.
Pilot meals prepared for HLGD / SRX rotations
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Sirt (SRX)
Airport catering at HLGD runs from one production kitchen built for wide-body volume, hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell held under a single roof. That layout is what lets airport catering in Libya move at the pace a full three-cabin rotation demands without splitting the load across separate sites. Every tray leaving the flight kitchen at SRX is produced to HACCP standard, then carried into a cold chain that does not break until the cart reaches the galley.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, never rotated in ad hoc for a sensitive movement. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects on the day. That consistency is what keeps the chain of custody unbroken between the kitchen seal and the signature at the aircraft.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Sirt
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Sirt, Libya
Menus at Sirt are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusted for the season and for whichever rotation the ramp is working that day. Libyan produce, dairy, fish and orchard fruit where the calendar allows it, sits alongside international formats built for a multi-class cabin split. Inflight catering at HLGD is planned from the same specification whether the movement is a scheduled service, a charter or a state flight, so a change in mission never means a change in standard. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the tray is sealed, not adjusted after boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sirt are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation a returning operator expects is reproduced rotation after rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at HLGD take multi-choice hot service built to a written cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the duty roster, with crew meals in Libya and crew meals at HLGD run off the same tray-set standard as the passenger cabin.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Sirt are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes. Produced on a separate line and closed out before it joins the main load, inflight catering at SRX keeps every religious, medical and household requirement traceable back to the passenger it was written for.

Flight catering airside delivery at HLGD
Sirt handles scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways, with the wide-body reference code governing which stands a given movement is assigned to. A state delegation on the ramp is a documentation exercise as much as a loading one, while a charter peak on the same stand rotation is a straightforward capacity question for the kitchen to answer.
Inflight catering and in-flight catering both move by the same route here: airside delivery from our kitchen to the stand, aircraft catering staged by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering at Sirt is planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed for the day.
One coordinator runs the load from the sealed cart to the signed handover, so airport catering at Sirt answers to a single point of accountability on every rotation, whatever the mission on the stand that day.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at HLGD
01
Government and state flight catering at SRX
A head of state aircraft on the Sirt ramp is boarded on the same wide-body stands the reference code assigns to any other movement, with nothing about the process left to chance on the day. Government flight catering here means the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Sirt
Across the 3599 metres of runway at Sirt, private airliners flying royal and VVIP movements, BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, are boarded from the same kitchen as every other rotation. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assembled at short notice.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at HLGD
A full three-cabin load has to be sequenced against a fixed stand assignment, because the wide-body reference code at Sirt sets which aircraft types the ramp can work together on a given day. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering staged in the order the galleys are laid out and counted against the loading sheet before departure.

Airline and ad hoc catering at SRX
The wide-body reference code held at Sirt puts scheduled and ad hoc airline movements on the same stands as everything else the ramp handles, so no rotation waits behind a mismatched aircraft type. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals in Sirt boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at Sirt
3599 metres of runway at Sirt, which lets business aviation operate alongside the wide-body traffic the field is built for. Private jet catering reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, with business aviation catering, business jet catering and FBO catering all held to the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, private jet catering in Libya included.

Business jet catering questions at Sirt
Crew meals, lead times and access at Sirt
What operations gets asked every week about Sirt.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering cost get set at HLGD?
The quotation is built from the loading record itself: cabin count, tray specification and the loading window requested, since we do not publish a fixed price list for airline catering cost. The desk comes back with a figure once those three are confirmed.
Does Sirt receive private jet catering at the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal at Sirt receive the same private jet catering run, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift. FBO catering is not limited to a single handler on the field.
Whose meals cover halal, kosher and the special meal codes at Sirt Airport?
For every passenger flagged before departure, halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML special meal codes are produced on a separate line and documented individually. Nothing in that set is assembled after boarding.
When does airline catering move airside at SRX?
Once the cart is sealed at the kitchen, airside delivery carries it directly to the stand, where hi-loader boarding lifts it to galley height rather than leaving it at the foot of the aircraft. That route is fixed regardless of which cabin class is loading.
