Aviation catering — Hangzhou, China
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Hangzhou (ZSHC / HGH)
HGH (IATA) · ZSHC (ICAO)
Two runways and a wide-body reference field set the terms of every rotation: cabins are staged in loading order and boarded without a foot-of-aircraft handoff. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering at Hangzhou (ZSHC), Hangzhou, China, for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, with wide-body uplift carried to galley height by hi-loader and airside.

Wide-body aviation catering at ZSHC / HGH
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Hangzhou airport
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, HGH
Ramp access at Hangzhou is where the loading window is actually won or lost, because the apron sequencing decides when the sealed cart can move. We hold ramp access on our own clearance rather than wait on a shared slot, and stage the catering uplift so hi-loader boarding starts the moment the aircraft is chocked. Nothing at ZSHC is estimated: the timeline below is the sequence itself, kitchen seal to galley door.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Hangzhou sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst of the three rather than the average day. A single named coordinator carries the load from the moment the cart is sealed to the moment a crew member signs for it at the galley, so the catering uplift never changes hands without a record. Temperature is logged at sealing and again at handover, and that chain of custody, not the drive itself, is what a wide-body rotation is judged on.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for ZSHC
Airport catering in Hangzhou is provisioned from a facility built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, so a wide-body rotation and a single VIP tray set can be worked from the same kitchen without either slowing the other down. Production runs to a documented HACCP standard, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is packed to the moment it is sealed into a cart bound for the ramp. That structure is what lets airport catering in China scale from one main-cabin service to a full multi-class uplift without changing the flight kitchen at HGH that supplies it.
The team behind government flight catering at Hangzhou is the same named group on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member holds a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and is trained to household standards for the protocol work that travels alongside a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and at catering at ZSHC it is the same desk, the same coordinator and the same chain of custody every time.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Hangzhou, China
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Hangzhou airport
Menus at Hangzhou are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed list, so a scheduled service and a VVIP rotation draw on the same kitchen without one compromising the other. Inflight catering at ZSHC takes its produce cues from the surrounding region, working dairy, river and coastal fish, and orchard fruit into main-cabin and premium sets as the season allows. Forward-cabin menus carry a written specification that a chef can plate consistently across repeat rotations, while main-cabin and crew sets are built for volume without dropping choice. Every set closes on documentation: allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are logged per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at ZSHC are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, so the same standard holds across repeat rotations. VIP flight catering here extends to caviar and à-la-carte service on request, with the presentation filed against the standing order for the next departure.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Hangzhou run multi-choice hot service to a cabin-specific standard, boxed in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft on the stand. Cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from passenger trays, with crew meals and pilot meals boarded to the roster rather than the seat count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Hangzhou are documented per passenger before they reach the kitchen floor, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets. The full range of IATA special meal codes is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it, so inflight catering in Hangzhou keeps every dietary set traceable back to one passenger record.

Flight catering airside delivery at Hangzhou
Two runways and a wide-body reference field put Hangzhou on the routing map for scheduled, charter and government traffic that a single-aisle station cannot take, and that mix turns catering into three different problems on the same day: a delegation is a documentation problem, a wave of departures is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem that only a named team solves consistently.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our flight kitchen by hi-loader, raised to galley height rather than left at the foot of the stand, with our own crew on the ramp for the load. Airline catering at Hangzhou and aviation catering in Hangzhou run off one ops desk, so an outstation carrier, a diversion and a scheduled long-haul departure share the same coordinator rather than three separate handoffs; airport catering at Hangzhou is planned stand by stand, and in-flight catering in Hangzhou is staged to the loading sheet before the cart ever leaves the gate.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover at the galley door, so inflight catering at Hangzhou carries the same chain of custody whether the flight is a scheduled service or a single VIP movement.
Charter flight catering and state missions at ZSHC
01
Government and state flight catering at Hangzhou
Our kitchen sets the runway length against the aircraft on the movement before a single tray is packed, and a 3,600-metre field lets that aircraft be a full-size wide-body carrying a delegation. Government flight catering at Hangzhou then runs on a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for a head of state movement or a state visit.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at ZSHC
A 3,600-metre runway takes the private airliners that royal and household movements use, BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP among them, without restricting the type to a shorter field. Royal flight catering at Hangzhou is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with royal household dietary requirements and VVIP catering handled on request across repeat rotations.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at HGH
A wide-body reference field lets a full-size charter aircraft take one of Hangzhou's stands rather than compete for a narrow-body slot, which is what an ACMI or wet-lease operator needs on a group movement. Charter flight catering at Hangzhou then runs a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, with charter flight catering at ZSHC staged in the order the galleys are laid out across a multi-leg tour.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Hangzhou
A 3,600-metre runway lets Hangzhou take a full-size wide-body on a scheduled rotation, which is what turns a diversion or a technical stop here into ordinary ramp traffic rather than an exception. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG covered on the same file, across a multi-leg rotation; crew meals in China move on the same tray sets as the cabin.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at ZSHC
Across the same wide-body reference field, business aviation traffic is worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than from the main commercial stands. Private jet catering at Hangzhou runs through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering delivered on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.
