Aviation catering — Sainte-Marie, Réunion
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Sainte-Marie (FMEE / RUN)
RUN (IATA) · FMEE (ICAO)
Two runways and a wide-body reference code put Sainte-Marie's flight kitchen within reach of scheduled, charter, government and royal traffic through the same ramp. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader uplift here, boarding wide-body cabins direct to the galley door rather than at the foot of the aircraft.

Aircraft catering lead times at Sainte-Marie airport
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at RUN
Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the galley door closing on the aircraft catering uplift at Sainte-Marie, every stage is logged rather than guessed at. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy crosses the apron on a fixed path instead of queuing behind general traffic. The wide-body reference code held at this station sets the pace: cabins load in sequence, forward to aft, against one working sheet.
The convoy is the risk on this station, not the food: screening, escort and apron traffic sit between our kitchen and the stand, and the plan is built against the worst of them rather than the average day. Chain of custody runs unbroken from the sealed cart to the galley catering handover, with a named escort covering every metre the trolley moves airside. Temperature is logged twice, once at sealing and again when the crew signs for the catering uplift, so the record closes with the aircraft rather than with the kitchen.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for FMEE
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at FMEE
Airport catering at FMEE runs from one facility holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under the same roof, rather than from separate units stitched together for each rotation. HACCP governs every stage between the larder and the sealed cart, and the cold chain is unbroken from that point to the aircraft door. Airport catering in Sainte-Marie is planned around the same wide-body reference code that sets the stands, so the kitchen output is sized to what the ramp can actually take on a given rotation.
Government flight catering at Sainte-Marie is worked by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries a standing security clearance, sits on the access list for the airside route, and is trained to royal household standards on the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. Catering at FMEE for this segment never changes hands mid-rotation: one team, one file, one signature.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Sainte-Marie, Réunion
VVIP catering written per mission at Sainte-Marie airport
Menus for Sainte-Marie are written to the cabin fitted to the aircraft and to the mission it is flying, from a single galley-ready specification rather than a fixed set list. Réunion's produce, dairy, fish and orchard fruit, feeds the general framework without naming a dish or a source: what changes is the season, not the standard. Inflight catering at Sainte-Marie carries allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets as standing options, documented per passenger rather than requested on the day. Every plate leaving the kitchen is labelled against that same passenger record before it reaches the cabin.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sainte-Marie are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte and tray options both available. VIP flight catering here covers a private airliner cabin exactly as it covers a scheduled First cabin, on the same clearance and the same seal.
Business cabins
Business cabins at FMEE run on multi-choice hot service, sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft and boxed to the roster. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets, sealed separately from the passenger load and logged against the same handover.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at RUN, halal, kosher, medical and religious sets among them, are documented per passenger and carried through the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for this line is produced on a separate line inside the kitchen and sealed before it leaves it, keeping the record clean from tray to galley.

Flight catering airside delivery at Sainte-Marie
Sainte-Marie handles scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways rated to a wide-body reference code, which means a delegation movement and a peak charter wave can land on the same day without either displacing the other on the ramp. Airline catering at FMEE is planned stand by stand rather than as a single block, because a repeat rotation and a one-off diversion carry different documentation from the first call.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand under escort, loaded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering at RUN keeps that route fixed regardless of which cabin is boarding, with the loading crew working from one sheet per rotation and the ramp crossing held on our own clearance rather than general ground traffic.
On every stand at this station we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so in-flight catering at RUN and inflight catering in Sainte-Marie close on the same record whatever the segment flying that day.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at FMEE
01
Government and state flight catering at RUN
A head of state aircraft is boarded on the same wide-body reference code that rates Sainte-Marie's two runways, which keeps a state movement on the standard stand rotation rather than a special one. Government flight catering here runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Sainte-Marie
At 3200 metres, the longest runway at Sainte-Marie takes a private airliner on the same approach as a scheduled wide-body, with nothing separating the two on the ground. Royal flight catering here holds a written household specification on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations with halal and household sets produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at FMEE
A 3200 metre runway sets what can be sequenced on one loading sheet, so a group movement and a special mission are staged in the order the galleys are laid out rather than run together. Charter flight catering at FMEE covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, and charter flight catering in Réunion extends to sports and tour-operator movements on the same wide-body stands.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at RUN
A wide-body reference code governs both runways at Sainte-Marie, which lets carriers running this station as an outstation plan a full three-cabin load rather than a reduced one. Ad hoc airline catering sits alongside outstation catering, diversion catering, technical stop catering and AOG cover, all worked off one duty roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Sainte-Marie
At 3200 metres, the runway takes business aviation on the same ground as scheduled wide-body traffic, so private jet catering at RUN reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal without a separate route. FBO catering runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, under our dedicated business aviation catering branch.

Scheduled airline
“We needed government flight catering at Sainte-Marie (RUN/FMEE) for a protocol-sensitive flight. Special meals and crew items were clearly separated, and the aircraft-side handover was smooth. Reliable, discreet, and easy to work with. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Rebecca — Ramp Operations Manager
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Sainte-Marie (RUN/FMEE) and booked private airliner catering for the sector. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Patrick — VIP Account Manager
“For a high-volume passenger flight at Sainte-Marie (RUN/FMEE), we needed reliable hajj flight catering. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Sainte-Marie, Réunion
Technical stop catering questions at Sainte-Marie, Réunion
What operations gets asked every week about Sainte-Marie.
Ask operations directly →Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at FMEE?
Yes, on the same route used for scheduled traffic: FBO catering reaches every operator on the field, sealed and logged before it leaves our kitchen.
How far in advance does Sainte-Marie need an order, and how late can a specification change?
Sainte-Marie works on a standing lead time for a full uplift, with the specification still open to change closer to departure than last minute airline catering usually allows; the desk confirms the exact cut-off against your rotation.
Can Sainte-Marie produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes?
The full set of SPML codes is produced on a separate line at this kitchen, with halal and kosher sets documented per passenger rather than batched.
How far does airline catering reach at RUN, and how does the uplift board the aircraft?
Security clearance on our own badges carries the convoy across the apron, and every uplift is boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft.
