Airline and VIP Flight Catering Across Rwanda
AERO GOURMET runs airline catering in Rwanda from a network built for ramp access and hi-loader boarding, loading directly on board rather than at the foot of the aircraft. Kigali's 3500 m runway anchors wide-body inflight catering, with aviation catering extended to the country's other fields.

How Aviation Catering Operates in Rwanda
Rwanda's catering geography is set by Kigali, whose 3500 m runway and wide-body aerodrome reference code make it the country's hub for airline catering and scheduled inflight service. Airline catering companies working this market route their heaviest uplifts through Kigali, where cabin counts and cargo crew requirements are largest and where the ops desk handles the bulk of daily traffic.
Kamembe and Gisenyi complete the picture with narrow-body fields, each carrying a single runway and a shorter strip suited to regional and feeder traffic. Airport catering at these stations follows the same cold chain and the same paperwork as at Kigali, scaled to smaller aircraft and lower frequency.
A request moves from flight number and ETA through to a loaded galley: our ops desk confirms pax and crew counts, aircraft type and stand, then a kitchen team builds and seals the load before it reaches the ramp. Cold chain is held from production to upload at every one of these stations, and the same compliance frame applies whether the aircraft is a scheduled service, a charter or a state movement through Kigali, Kamembe or Gisenyi.
