Aviation catering — Oyo, Republic of the Congo
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Oyo (FCOD / OLL)
OLL (IATA) · FCOD (ICAO)
With a 3300 m runway rated to wide-body reference code, Oyo takes the aircraft that scheduled, charter and government operators actually fly, and it is where AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off a single ops desk. Trays move by hi-loader to galley height, so uplift for wide-body cabins boards directly rather than waiting at the foot of the aircraft, with inflight catering at OLL scheduled against the loading sheet.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Oyo airport
Catering at FCOD moves on a sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the ramp access, boarded at galley height. Ramp access is held on issued credentials rather than a foot-of-aircraft handover, so the catering uplift is tracked stage by stage from kitchen seal to signature. Every apron movement at Oyo carries that same discipline, whatever the mission on the loading sheet.
Between our kitchen and the stand at OLL sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the plan for each rotation is built against the worst of those three, not the easiest. Galley catering that leaves the kitchen sealed is checked again at handover, so the convoy carries the risk, never the food itself. Temperatures are logged at sealing and again at the aircraft, one chain of custody covering the whole distance, and the catering uplift closes only when a named handler signs for it at the galley door. That signature is the record an ops desk can point to afterwards, not a verbal assurance from the ramp.
One coordinator, one sealed load, one signature: nothing changes hands unrecorded at Oyo.

Airport catering at FCOD runs from a facility built to keep hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, rather than split across separate sites feeding the same apron. That structure is what lets airport catering in Republic of the Congo hold a single specification across a scheduled rotation and an ad hoc diversion alike. The flight kitchen at OLL works to HACCP procedure at every stage, with the cold chain checked between each of them rather than only at departure.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station 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 ramp, and is trained to the household standards a protocol officer expects before a sealed uplift is ever loaded. That continuity is what a chain of custody actually depends on, movement after movement.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Oyo
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Oyo, Republic of the Congo
Menus at OLL are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed offer, so a scheduled rotation and a VVIP movement are not served from the same fixed sheet. Where local sourcing applies, produce drawn from the surrounding region is worked into main-cabin and premium sets alongside imported stock, without naming a single dish or a single grower. Inflight catering at FCOD adjusts by season and by cabin count, First, Business and main cabin each carrying its own specification rather than one menu scaled up or down. Every set closes on documentation: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are recorded per passenger and per cabin, not assumed from the booking class.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Oyo are plated to a written specification rather than an improvised course order, with à-la-carte service on request where the rotation allows it. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the mission, so a repeat movement is served to the same record each time it lands at FCOD.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OLL run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals in Oyo and crew meals in Republic of the Congo are boarded the same way, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals set apart and labelled to the roster rather than mixed into the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Oyo are documented per passenger before they ever reach the tray line, covering household, religious and medical sets rather than a single standard menu. Halal and kosher production, along with the full range of IATA special meal codes, is produced on a separate line and sealed before departure. Inflight catering at Oyo is built to carry that documentation intact from kitchen to galley.

Flight catering airside delivery at FCOD
A 3300 m runway rated to wide-body reference code puts Oyo in reach of scheduled, charter and government traffic on the same apron, and each of those brings a different catering problem: a delegation is a documentation load, a peak wave is a capacity load, a repeat charter rotation is a repetition load that has to be matched movement after movement. Airline catering at FCOD is planned against whichever of those the schedule sets for that day, not against a single fixed pattern.
The uplift itself moves from our kitchen to the stand under ramp access held on issued credentials, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the apron coordinates directly with our loading crew so the two schedules run to one timeline instead of two. Aviation catering in Oyo, and inflight catering at Oyo, are both worked off that same single ops desk, with in-flight catering at Oyo held to the loading sheet rather than to a verbal estimate.
On every rotation we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so airport catering in Republic of the Congo carries the same accountable chain regardless of which segment is flying that day.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Oyo (OLL)
01
Government and state flight catering at FCOD
The 3300 m runway here clears the aircraft types a state delegation actually flies, which is what lets government flight catering at this station run to full protocol rather than a scaled-down version of it. Movements carrying a head of state travel on documentation filed per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and an uplift sealed before it ever leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at OLL
Our kitchen works to the same wide-body reference code that governs every stand at this field, which lets it hold one household specification across repeat movements rather than rebuilding it each time. Royal flight catering at Oyo covers private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — with halal sets and other household dietary requirements produced on request and kept on file between rotations.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Oyo
Wide-body reference code coverage at this field puts a full three-cabin charter uplift within reach of the same stands used for scheduled traffic, not a separate lower-capacity apron. Charter flight catering at Oyo serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and multi-leg special missions, with charter flight catering at FCOD counted against the loading sheet and staged to match how each galley is laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at FCOD
A single wide-body reference code at this field means every loading plan is sequenced around one stand class rather than juggling several, and that sequencing is what makes ad hoc airline catering possible on short notice. Carriers running Oyo as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals at Oyo and crew meals at OLL boarded alongside the passenger load rather than as an afterthought.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at OLL
Business airliners and private wide-body aircraft cleared by the reference code held at this field are worked from the GA terminal and the ramp handler rather than from a separate uplift chain. Private jet catering at FCOD, delivered as FBO catering to the FBOs on the field, runs on the same cold chain and business aviation catering paperwork as a business jet catering order for a scheduled carrier.

Inflight catering FAQ for Oyo, Republic of the Congo
Technical stop catering questions at Oyo
What operations gets asked every week about Oyo.
Ask operations directly →How far in advance does an order need to be placed for Oyo, and how late can the specification change?
Clearance to the ramp and the kitchen's own production schedule set the lead time, so last minute airline catering is worked case by case against how far out the change lands. As a rule, earlier confirmation protects the loading window; a specification change close to departure is still taken where the sealed-cart schedule allows it.
At which point are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for a flight through FCOD?
Production of halal and kosher sets, and of the full range of SPML codes, is scheduled at the same stage as the main cabin load rather than added afterwards, and each set is produced on a separate line. Special meals are documented per passenger before sealing, so the record travels with the tray from kitchen to galley.
Where does airline catering reach the aircraft at OLL?
A signed handover record at the galley door is what proves the uplift arrived airside rather than at a curbside drop. Airline catering here moves by airside delivery and hi-loader boarding straight to galley height, with no foot-of-aircraft transfer in the sequence.
Does FCOD handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering, and under what protocol?
Every movement carrying a head of state, a royal household or another VVIP passenger runs on a documented protocol file rather than a standard order sheet. VIP flight catering and government flight catering are both handled by the same cleared team, with the protocol record kept per passenger and per rotation.
Is airline catering cost published for Oyo?
The coordinator assigned to a rotation builds the quotation from the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than from a published rate card. Airline catering cost therefore varies by mission, and the desk returns a figure once those three inputs are confirmed.
Who receives private jet catering and FBO catering at Oyo?
For every operator based at the GA terminal or working with the ramp handler, private jet catering is delivered on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift. FBO catering here covers all of the FBOs on the field, not a single preferred one.
