Aviation catering — Liupanshui, China
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Liupanshui (ZUPS / LPF)
LPF (IATA) · ZUPS (ICAO)
The narrow-body reference code held at Liupanshui sets the aircraft this ramp boards and the pace at which our teams work the stand. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here, boarding wide-body-trained crews and hi-loader technique on every uplift, airside, so a scheduled sector or a VIP rotation clears the galley door on the same schedule.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Liupanshui (LPF)
Ramp access at Liupanshui is what decides the loading window, not a printed schedule: the hi-loader is cleared onto the apron only once the sealed cart has left our kitchen. Every catering uplift here is planned against that sequence, kitchen to ramp to galley door, so the window holds even when the stand changes at short notice. Airside movement is escorted end to end, and the seal stays unbroken until the crew signs for it at the aircraft.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Liupanshui sit screening, an escort requirement and apron traffic that can shift a slot with little warning. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of those delays rather than the average one, which is what keeps a galley catering handover on time when the ramp is busy. Chain of custody runs unbroken from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft, and nothing in between is left to a verbal handoff. Temperatures are logged at sealing and again at the galley, and the paperwork travels with the cart, not behind it.
One seal, one escort, one signature: the convoy is the risk we plan for.

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Liupanshui, China
Airport catering at Liupanshui runs from a production kitchen holding hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, with a protocol line kept separate for cleared uplifts. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart that leaves for the stand. Airport catering at ZUPS is built around that single site rather than a network of outstations, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from larder to galley.
The team behind catering at ZUPS is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for a single flight. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the protocol line, and is trained to the household standards a royal or government movement expects. Government flight catering here is handled by that fixed team alone, with the paperwork travelling sealed alongside the cart it belongs to.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LPF
VVIP catering to a written specification at ZUPS / LPF
Menus at Liupanshui are written to the cabin and the mission rather than issued from a single fixed card, so a scheduled sector and a VIP rotation are never served from the same specification. Where local sourcing applies, dairy, orchard fruit and regional produce are worked into the plan without naming a supplier or a dish. Inflight catering here closes on a documented set of allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. That labelling travels with the tray, not as a separate note appended afterwards.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Liupanshui are plated to a written specification rather than a standing menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation on a repeat rotation matches the one before it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at ZUPS receive multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready tray sets, sized to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and labelled to the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew sets never mix with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Liupanshui are documented per passenger rather than left to a verbal note at boarding, covering household, religious and medical sets. Halal and kosher meals, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, sit on inflight catering produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at Liupanshui airport
Liupanshui carries scheduled and charter traffic against a narrow-body reference code, which sets the aircraft this stand takes and the pace a rotation is worked at. A single delegation is a documentation problem before it is a loading one, and a busy wave on the ramp is a capacity problem the kitchen has to plan against, not react to.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, moved airside under escort to the stand, where a hi-loader lifts it to galley height rather than leaving it at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering at ZUPS and airline catering at Liupanshui both run off that single route, with airport catering at LPF planned stand by stand rather than against a fixed schedule; in-flight catering in China and inflight catering in Liupanshui both draw on the same kitchen and the same convoy.
One coordinator owns the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Liupanshui, China
01
Government and state flight catering at LPF
Against the narrow-body reference code held at Liupanshui, a head of state aircraft or an official delegation is boarded on the same stand as a scheduled sector, under a separate protocol file. Government flight catering here means that file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Liupanshui
A narrow-body reference code forces a household movement to share the same stand infrastructure as scheduled traffic, so the loading sequence is fixed well before the aircraft is on the ground. Royal flight catering at ZUPS holds a written specification on file between movements, covering private airliners such as a BBJ or ACJ, with halal and other household requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at ZUPS
Narrow-body only, which sets a fixed cabin count for every charter working this stand and rules nothing else onto it. Charter flight catering at Liupanshui covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering staged to the loading sheet in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LPF
The narrow-body reference code held at Liupanshui sets the aircraft this stand boards on a scheduled sector or a diverted one alike. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering for carriers running this field as an outstation, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, with crew meals boxed to the roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Liupanshui
Our crews work the same narrow-body stand infrastructure at Liupanshui for business aviation as for scheduled traffic, delivering to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field. Private jet catering in China runs on that route under the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering held to the identical seal-and-signature process.

“We used the team at Liupanshui (LPF/ZUPS) for diversion catering after an unexpected operational change. They reacted quickly to revised timings and passenger numbers, and the handover was straightforward. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
