Wide-body & private jet

Aviation catering — Juba, South Sudan
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Juba (HJJJ / JUB)
JUB (IATA) · HJJJ (ICAO)
Wide-body is the reference code held here, which lets a full three-cabin rotation load without a single stand swap. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering at HJJJ from a sealed kitchen, boarding by hi-loader to galley height so uplift moves airside, on one ops desk, for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights out of Juba.

Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at HJJJ
Wide-body is the reference code carried at Juba, which means a full three-cabin catering uplift is planned as one load rather than a stack of separate carts. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than routed through a general handling queue, so the sealed trolleys move straight from the kitchen door to the aircraft. Every stage between those two points is timed and logged, not guessed at, which is what the timeline beside this note is showing.
Between our kitchen and the stand at HJJJ sit screening, an escort through the apron and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway field, and we plan the galley catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the average day. A wide-body rotation cannot wait on a queue at the checkpoint, so the convoy is the variable we manage, not the food: the trays are sealed and correct long before the gate opens. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover on the stand, and the chain of custody closes with a signature that names the crew member who took delivery, which is the record a government or VVIP rotation is actually checked against.
One coordinator carries the seal from the kitchen door to the signature on the stand.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Juba airport
Airport catering at JUB is run from one flight kitchen built to serve a single-runway field carrying wide-body traffic, which means hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof rather than split across contractors. That matters at HJJJ specifically because a wide-body rotation cannot be re-sequenced mid-load, so airport catering in Juba is built around one kitchen finishing one aircraft's full set before the next stand is touched. Production runs to HACCP throughout, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is sealed to the moment it is signed for on the aircraft.
The team that handles government flight catering at Juba is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for one movement. Each member carries a current security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp side of the field, and is trained to royal household standards as well as to our own service specification. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking when a delegation books ahead of a state visit through HJJJ.
VIP flight catering menus for HJJJ / JUB departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Juba (JUB)
Wide-body service at Juba runs First, Business and main cabin on one production line, so the inflight catering menu at HJJJ is written to the cabin it boards rather than issued as a single fixed set. Produce drawn from South Sudan's dairy, orchard fruit and river fish sits alongside a wider set of proteins and grains sourced to keep every route covered, and the balance shifts with the season rather than staying fixed year round. A VIP flight menu or a charter flight menu is built the same way, adjusted to the mission and the length of the rotation rather than sold off a fixed card. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, then produced and labelled against that record before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at HJJJ are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for a government or royal movement. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for each aircraft, so the presentation matches the last rotation exactly, load after load, whichever cabin configuration is on the stand at Juba.
Business cabins
Business cabins out of JUB run multi-choice hot service built to the cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to whichever galley is fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately against the roster, so crew meals in South Sudan travel on the same cart schedule as the passenger trays without ever mixing sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Juba are documented per passenger before a tray is produced, covering household, religious and medical needs on a single record that travels with the load. Halal and kosher sets, plus the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, which is how inflight catering in South Sudan keeps a mixed cabin correct without cross-contact.

Flight catering airside delivery at JUB
Juba carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single runway rated to a wide-body reference code, which means a delegation movement and a passenger rotation can share the same ramp within the same working day. That mix turns catering into a documentation problem as much as a production one: a state visit needs the protocol file closed before wheels-down, while a repeat scheduled service needs the same tray count and the same cabin split every time it lands at HJJJ.
The uplift travels from our sealed kitchen to the wide-body stand by hi-loader, boarded straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own escort covering the apron crossing. Airline catering and aviation catering at HJJJ run off one ops desk that plans the convoy against the checkpoint and the ramp traffic rather than against an average day, so airport catering in Juba is planned stand by stand, not terminal by terminal.
One coordinator carries responsibility from the sealed cart to the signed handover on every load, and in-flight catering at HJJJ closes on that same signature whether the aircraft is a scheduled airliner, a charter, or a government or private jet movement, matching the inflight catering standard held in Juba more widely.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Juba airport
01
Government and state flight catering at JUB
The 3100-metre runway at Juba takes a full wide-body movement without a weight restriction on the catering load, which matters on a state visit where the aircraft arrives heavy and departs the same day. Government flight catering at HJJJ covers delegations and official movements with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift for a head of state aircraft sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Juba
A wide-body VIP airliner is one of the aircraft types the 3100-metre runway at Juba is built to take, which is what lets a private airliner move through this station on the same ramp as scheduled traffic. Royal flight catering at HJJJ covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request for the royal household.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at HJJJ
On the wide-body stand at Juba, the loading sheet governs the sequence rather than the calendar, so a charter aircraft is staged in the order its galleys are laid out. Charter flight catering at JUB covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted item by item, and charter flight catering in South Sudan runs the same multi-leg pattern whether the rotation is a single sector or several.

Airline and ad hoc catering at JUB
The wide-body reference code held at Juba means a carrier can route a full three-cabin aircraft through this station without splitting the load across two stands. Ad hoc airline catering at JUB covers outstation catering for carriers that do not base here, diversion catering when a rotation is forced onto this field, and technical stop catering on a multi-leg pattern, with crew meals in South Sudan boarded on the same cart run.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Juba
A wide-body reference code governs the ramp at Juba, which means a business jet loading alongside a larger aircraft has to be sequenced around that movement rather than served on demand. Private jet catering at HJJJ reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering and business aviation catering run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as a business jet catering order for an airline uplift, extending to private jet catering in South Sudan more broadly.

“We needed an airline catering broker at Juba (JUB/HJJJ) and the support was excellent. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. Very convenient for operational coverage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Diana — Network Control Coordinator
“Our team needed private jet catering in Juba for a short-notice flight at JUB/HJJJ. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. Good local support for a VIP operation. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Arthur — VIP Aviation Coordinator
“I requested halal airline meals for passengers departing Juba (JUB/HJJJ) and the labeling was excellent. All requirements were followed and the cabin crew could see immediately which meal belonged to which passenger. We were happy with the accuracy of the order. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

What operations gets asked every week about Juba.
Ask operations directly →At what point does airline catering reach the aircraft at JUB?
Airside delivery starts at the sealed kitchen door and ends at the galley, with the cart moved onto a hi-loader for the final stage rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.
HJJJ — do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The hi-loader that boards a scheduled aircraft carries a government or VVIP uplift the same way, under a protocol file that documents the passenger list, the security clearance of the staff involved, and the seal record for VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike.
How much does airline catering cost at Juba?
The airline catering cost here rests on the security clearance and cabin specification a rotation needs, since cabin count, menu specification and the loading window all move the figure, so the desk reviews the mission and comes back with a quotation rather than a published rate.
Do you produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at Juba Airport?
Yes, produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, with halal, kosher and the full set of SPML special meal codes documented per passenger so a mixed cabin boards correctly every time.
