Aviation catering — Preah Sihanouk, Cambodia
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Preah Sihanouk (VDSV / KOS)
KOS (IATA) · VDSV (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code at Preah Sihanouk sets the frame for every rotation: one stand built for hi-loader boarding, not a trolley pushed across the apron. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering off that stand, boarding the three cabins direct to galley height so the uplift never sits exposed on the ramp.

Ramp access at Preah Sihanouk is what decides whether a catering uplift reaches the galley door sealed or reaches it late, and the wide-body reference code held here means the route from our kitchen to the stand is fixed rather than negotiated per rotation. The cart crosses the apron under escort, cleared for the same wide-body stand every time, and it is boarded by hi-loader rather than handed up at the foot of the aircraft. Nothing about that sequence changes for a scheduled service, a charter or a state movement passing through KOS.

The convoy is the risk in any catering uplift, not the food, and at Preah Sihanouk that risk sits in the stretch between our kitchen and the single wide-body stand: screening, an escort across the apron, and whatever else is moving on it that hour. We plan the galley catering route against the worst of that traffic rather than the average of it, because a wide-body reference code gives us one stand to defend, not several to juggle.
Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover on the stand, with a signature closing the chain of custody at each end. That pairing of readings is what lets an ops desk trust the galley without opening it before departure.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature from kitchen to galley door.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at VDSV / KOS
Airport catering at Preah Sihanouk is built around one flight kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, rather than several sites feeding the same stand. That structure is what makes airport catering at KOS workable for a wide-body rotation: a scheduled service, a charter and a state movement all draw on the same larder and the same HACCP-run production line without one queue blocking another. Airport catering in Preah Sihanouk stays on that one line from raw intake to sealed cart, so nothing crosses between a commercial tray and a protocol one.
Government flight catering out of this kitchen is handled by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled to the flight. That team carries security clearance on file, sits on a fixed access list for the protocol line, and is trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift travels with between kitchen and stand. The same crew works the household file and the state file alike, so a repeat movement through KOS is met by faces the access list already recognises.

Royal flight catering standards per cabin at VDSV / KOS
A wide-body reference code at Preah Sihanouk means the menu range is built to fill three cabins at once, not to stretch a single-class set across them, and every cycle is written to the mission before it is written to the season. Inflight catering at VDSV draws where it can on Cambodian produce — orchard fruit, freshwater fish, dairy worked into the pastry line — kept general rather than named to a supplier or a dish. Cycles turn week to week against the same tray standard, so a scheduled airline and a charter see the same production discipline behind a different plate. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before the cart is sealed rather than sorted on board.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Preah Sihanouk are plated to a written specification rather than improvised trolley-side, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed the same way for a repeat rotation as for a single charter, so the presentation does not vary with the booking.

Business cabins
Business cabins out of KOS run a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the galley loads them without sorting on board.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements move through Preah Sihanouk documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line at the kitchen and sealed before it leaves it, so nothing crosses with a standard tray.

Cold chain and HACCP for aircraft catering at Preah Sihanouk (KOS)
Airside airport catering at Preah Sihanouk airport
Preah Sihanouk carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body stand, which turns every rotation into the same planning problem worked at different scale: a delegation is a documentation exercise, a charter wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat scheduled service is a repetition exercise run against the same loading sheet each time. Airline catering in Preah Sihanouk is built around that single stand rather than around a terminal full of them.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and crosses the apron under escort to the one wide-body stand, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed up at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering in Cambodia run through this station follows that same route regardless of operator, and in-flight catering in Cambodia is logged at both ends of it, sealed at the kitchen and checked again at handover.
What we commit to on this stand is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to galley, and a signed handover before departure — inflight catering in Cambodia measured the same way whether the aircraft is on a scheduled sector or a state movement.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged diverted flight catering at Preah Sihanouk (KOS/VDSV). Confirmation was quick, the order stayed clear despite several updates, and delivery reached the aircraft on time. A dependable option for irregular operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Ali — Flight Operations Coordinator
“We used the service at Preah Sihanouk (KOS/VDSV) for off-station catering on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. The team confirmed everything clearly, handled the local coordination, and delivered the order ready for loading. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Joseph — Freighter Operations Coordinator
“For our flight at Preah Sihanouk (KOS/VDSV), we needed a quick airline catering cost before confirming the order. Pricing, delivery timing, and packaging were all explained upfront, which helped us approve the uplift quickly. Straightforward and professional from quote to delivery. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Aircraft catering questions at Preah Sihanouk airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at KOS
What operations gets asked every week about Preah Sihanouk.
Ask operations directly →At which point does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at VDSV?
The sealed cart crosses the apron under escort and is boarded by hi-loader direct to galley height, so airside delivery ends at the galley door rather than at the foot of the aircraft.
How far does airline catering cost vary at Preah Sihanouk?
Airline catering cost rests on cabin count, specification and the loading window booked, since no price list is published; the desk reviews those three against the rotation and returns a quotation.
Preah Sihanouk International Airport — do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The same hi-loader used for a scheduled service carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering here, with the protocol file documented per passenger and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
Given the single GA apron shared with wide-body traffic, do you deliver private jet catering at KOS?
There are FBOs on the field and a GA terminal that receive private jet catering and FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, sequenced around the wide-body stand.
Can a specification still change close to departure at VDSV?
The lead time turns on the loading window rather than a fixed cut-off; how far in advance an order is placed decides how much can still move, and last minute airline catering is worked against whatever window remains open.
How late can crew numbers change before a rotation at KOS?
Crew meal counts are held open until the cart is sealed at the kitchen, so a late change is folded into the same loading window rather than requiring a separate uplift.
