Aviation catering — Victoria, Seychelles
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Victoria (FSIA / SEZ)
SEZ (IATA) · FSIA (ICAO)
The single wide-body reference code at FSIA sets what boards on this ramp: multi-class widebodies loaded on their own stand, not squeezed against a narrow-body slot. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader uplift from that stand to galley height, airside, so a full three-cabin load clears the door on schedule.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Victoria (SEZ)
Ramp access at SEZ is what decides the loading window, not a countdown clock: the cart clears security and moves straight to the apron rather than waiting at a kerbside drop. Our crews hold the seal from the kitchen door to the galley door, and the hi-loader sets the cart at the exact height the aircraft needs. On the single wide-body stand at Victoria, that sequence runs the same way whether the flight is scheduled, chartered or under protocol.

Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at FSIA sit the checks any airside movement carries: security screening on the vehicle, an escort onto the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp. We plan the catering uplift against the slowest of those, not the fastest, so a delegation or a peak departure wave never forces a shortcut in the chain of custody. Temperature is logged when the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the aircraft, and the handover is signed at the door, cart by cart, before the crew moves on to the next rotation.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the door, nothing decided in between.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Victoria, Seychelles
HACCP governs every stage of production behind Victoria, from the cold larder through hot production and pastry to the protocol line that plates for government and royal moves. Airport catering at SEZ runs from one facility rather than several outstations, which keeps the cold chain unbroken between the kitchen door and the stand. That single-site model is also why airport catering here can turn a diversion or an ad hoc order without splitting the load across two kitchens.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Victoria is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the wide-body stand, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels sealed with a VIP or state load. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks before anything else at FSIA.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at SEZ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at FSIA / SEZ
Menus at SEZ are built to the cabin and the mission first, and to the calendar second: a First-cabin plated service reads differently from a group-charter tray set, and both are written before the season is set. Seychelles produce, from reef fish to tropical fruit, sits on the general specification where the mission calls for local sourcing, without naming a single dish or a single grower on the sheet. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, so the galley receives a labelled load rather than a guess. That is what inflight catering means on this ramp: a written brief carried through to the tray, not improvised at the last check.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins departing Victoria receive VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request. Every course is filed against the standing order before the cart leaves the kitchen, so the presentation at FSIA matches the brief exactly, rotation after rotation.

Business cabins
Business cabins working through SEZ take multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's own galley, boxed in tray sets that load in sequence. Crew meals in Victoria are boxed separately from the passenger load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept on distinct manifests for the roster.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements are documented per passenger for every departure from Victoria, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets. Inflight catering at Victoria produces the full range of IATA special meal codes on a separate line, sealed before it leaves that line for the stand.

Compliance
Aircraft catering compliance at FSIA
Flight catering airside delivery at Victoria airport
Victoria's single wide-body stand carries scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic through one reference code rather than several parallel ones, which turns each rotation into a documentation exercise as much as a loading one: a delegation needs its protocol file matched to the manifest before the cart moves, and a peak departure wave needs the stand cleared and reset without a gap in the schedule.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our kitchen, staged through airside screening and an escort onto the apron before the cart reaches galley height at the stand; ground handling on the ramp coordinates the slot so the cart is never left waiting in the open. Airline catering at Victoria and aviation catering at FSIA both run off that same route, and inflight catering in Seychelles, in-flight catering in Seychelles and airport catering at SEZ are all planned against the same loading sheet rather than four separate ones.
One coordinator carries the rotation from kitchen to signature, with sealed carts and a handover signed at the door.

“Our sports movement through Victoria (SEZ/FSIA) required sports team flight meals on a tight schedule. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. A good partner for sports charter operations. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Elena — Delegation Travel Coordinator
“We arranged repatriation flight catering at Victoria (SEZ/FSIA) for a non-routine passenger movement. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. We appreciated the flexibility. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Kai — Ad Hoc Operations Manager
“For a cargo sector from Victoria (SEZ/FSIA), we arranged cargo airline catering for the operating crew. Meals arrived on time and were packed practically for a working crew rather than over-presented. Simple, efficient, and on time. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Airline catering services FAQ for SEZ
Pilot meals and loading questions at SEZ
What operations gets asked every week about Victoria.
Ask operations directly →When can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Victoria?
When a business aircraft is confirmed on stand, our crews route FBO catering straight to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Where are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes documented for flights out of SEZ?
The passenger manifest carries every special meal request as an IATA SPML code, and halal and kosher sets are logged against it before the tray set is sealed.
Which protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at FSIA?
The hi-loader and sealed cart carry the load from our kitchen to the stand under the same route for every mission, with VIP flight catering and government flight catering both documented per passenger against the protocol file.
Is there a fixed lead time for placing or changing an order in Victoria?
The duty coordinator confirms how far in advance a standing order should be placed and how late the specification can still change, case by case against the loading window.
What does airline catering cost at Victoria?
We quote against cabin count, specification and the loading window for each rotation, since no fixed price list applies across such different mission types.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at SEZ?
SEZ takes airside delivery by hi-loader directly from our kitchen to the galley door, never staged at the foot of the steps.
