Aviation catering — Ouro Sogui, Senegal
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Ouro Sogui (GOSM / MAX)
MAX (IATA) · GOSM (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the ramp AERO GOURMET works from at Ouro Sogui, and it is enough to run inflight catering to a scheduled turnaround without a delay reaching the galley. In-flight catering here moves by hi-loader to galley height across the apron, sealed at our kitchen and boarded straight onto the wide-body-capable stand rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Inflight catering at wide-body scale for MAX
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Ouro Sogui airport
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, MAX
Ramp access is what decides the catering uplift at Ouro Sogui, not the distance on a map: the apron sequence governs how the sealed cart reaches the stand. Our coordinator times the route from the kitchen door to the aircraft galley on every rotation through GOSM, logging the handover rather than estimating it. Nothing about the window changes with the mission behind it, whether the tail is scheduled, chartered or state.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Ouro Sogui sit screening, an escort through the airside gate and the ordinary traffic of the apron, and the chain of custody is planned against the worst of the three rather than the average. A named coordinator carries the sealed cart from galley catering preparation through to the aircraft door, and nothing changes hands without a signature at each end. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the galley, so the catering uplift arrives with its own written record rather than a promise.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature at the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Ouro Sogui (MAX)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for GOSM
The flight kitchen behind Ouro Sogui runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed the narrow-body reference code held at GOSM rather than a larger or smaller one. Airport catering at this station is HACCP-run from intake to seal, with the cold chain held from the larder to the cart. Airport catering at MAX draws on that same kitchen for every segment it boards, scheduled or otherwise.
The team that carries government flight catering through Ouro Sogui is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in as needed. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, their names sit on the airside access list, and they are trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects. Sealed uplift leaving this kitchen for a protocol flight carries their signature and no one else's.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Ouro Sogui, Senegal
VVIP catering to a written specification at Ouro Sogui airport
Menus written for Ouro Sogui start from the cabin and the mission rather than a fixed list, adjusted for scheduled rotations, VIP movements and charter groups alike. Where local sourcing is available, dairy, orchard produce and regional fish move into the tray sets and the plated sets the same way, without naming a supplier or a single dish. Inflight catering in Senegal is planned around what the season and the route allow, then locked to a written specification before it reaches the kitchen floor. Every set closes on the same documentation: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements labelled per passenger and per cabin, not folded into a general note.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Ouro Sogui are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed by default. VIP flight catering at GOSM is signed off before it leaves the kitchen, not adjusted stand-side.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MAX run on multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals at MAX and crew meals at GOSM travel separately from the cabin trays, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed to the roster rather than shared from the passenger set.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Ouro Sogui are documented per passenger, covering halal, kosher and religious meals alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, never plated alongside the standard tray.

Flight catering airside delivery at Ouro Sogui
A narrow-body reference code at Ouro Sogui sets the working assumption behind every rotation: catering is planned to that airframe class rather than to a wider one, which keeps the loading sequence short and repeatable whatever the mission behind the tail. That same code shapes how a delegation, a charter group or a scheduled service is worked through GOSM, since the constraint is the stand and the galley fit, not the passenger count.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, escorted across the apron to the stand and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed over at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the ramp at MAX coordinates with our own airside badges, so the cart does not wait on a third party's clearance. Airline catering at Ouro Sogui, aviation catering at GOSM, in-flight catering at MAX and airport catering in Senegal all run off the same duty roster rather than separate ones.
One coordinator is named against each rotation through this station, sealed carts travel with a signed handover at both ends, and inflight catering at MAX closes on that same signature whatever the segment.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at GOSM
01
Government and state flight catering at MAX
A narrow-body reference code governs the stand a delegation aircraft uses at Ouro Sogui, and government flight catering here is built around that same constraint rather than a larger-airframe assumption. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared before they touch the load, and the uplift is sealed at GOSM before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Ouro Sogui
A private airliner within the narrow-body class Ouro Sogui is built to handle, BBJ or ACJ included, boards here without the stand or the galley fit working against the mission. Royal flight catering at this station holds household standards across repeat rotations from a written specification kept on file, with halal and other household requirements produced to that same file on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at GOSM
Across the narrow-body stand at Ouro Sogui, charter flight catering runs to the same loading sheet whether the operator is ACMI, wet-lease or a group movement booked for a single season. Charter flight catering at MAX stages a full three-cabin uplift in the order the galleys are laid out, counted against that sheet before the hi-loader ever reaches the door.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at MAX
A narrow-body reference code at Ouro Sogui keeps our crews working to one loading sequence whatever the tail on the stand, which is what makes ad hoc airline catering possible on short notice. Carriers running GOSM as an outstation get outstation catering off the same duty roster as a scheduled service, with diversion catering and technical stop catering across a multi-leg rotation, crew meals in Senegal boxed the same way every time.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Ouro Sogui
What has to be sequenced around the narrow-body reference code at Ouro Sogui is the loading order itself, since business aviation traffic shares the same stand class as the scheduled work. Private jet catering in Ouro Sogui is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

Business jet catering questions at Ouro Sogui, Senegal
Technical stop catering questions at Ouro Sogui, Senegal
What operations gets asked every week about Ouro Sogui.
Ask operations directly →Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at MAX?
Yes, private jet catering at MAX reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering sealed before it leaves our kitchen.
What lead time do you need to confirm an order at GOSM, and how late can a specification change?
We work to a standing lead time for a new booking at GOSM and can still take a late change to a specification ahead of the loading window; ask how far in advance your rotation needs confirming and we will fit it to the sealed-cart schedule rather than force an earlier cut-off.
How are halal, kosher and special meal codes documented for flights through Ouro Sogui?
Ouro Sogui sets produce halal and kosher trays alongside the full range of IATA SPML codes on a separate production line, each one labelled per passenger before it is sealed.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Ouro Sogui Airport, and under what protocol?
Yes, VIP flight catering and government flight catering run at Ouro Sogui Airport under a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift for every royal or state movement.
How much does airline catering cost at MAX, and can you send a quotation?
Cost depends on the cabin count, the specification and the loading window agreed for the rotation, so our desk returns a quotation once those details are confirmed rather than publishing a fixed rate.
