Paphos (LCPH / PFO): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
PFO (IATA) · LCPH (ICAO)
With a 2700 m runway rated to the wide-body reference code, Paphos boards multi-class aircraft on stands built for hi-loader access rather than kerb-side handoff. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering from that ramp directly to galley height, so the uplift never touches a tarmac trolley between our kitchen door and the aircraft door.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Paphos, Cyprus
Per flight, the catering uplift at Paphos runs from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, not to a pallet left on the tarmac. Ramp access here means the load crosses the apron under escort rather than waiting at a holding point for a tug that may or may not be free. Every stage of that route is logged against the same rotation, so a delay upstream is visible before it reaches the aircraft.
Between our kitchen and the single wide-body stand at Paphos sit screening, an escorted crossing of the apron, and the queue behind whichever aircraft is working the stand ahead of the rotation. We plan the catering uplift against the worst case on that route rather than the average one, which is what keeps the galley catering on schedule when the apron is running late. Chain of custody starts at the seal on the cart, not at the aircraft steps, and it is documented that way through to the crew signature. The galley itself is where the load is finally checked against the loading sheet, cabin by cabin, before the door closes.
One coordinator owns the load from the seal to the signature, door to door.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at LCPH / PFO
Across every shift feeding Paphos rotations, our production kitchen runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof rather than as separate contractors stitched together for the day. That structure is what lets airport catering here hold a HACCP standard across a scheduled turnaround and a same-day charter without reworking the process for either. Airport catering at Paphos is planned from that single kitchen, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from the first tray sealed to the last one loaded.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Paphos is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in as needed. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, alongside the access list that names who may handle a sealed uplift and who may not. They work to household service standards as a matter of routine, not as an exception raised for one movement.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LCPH
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Paphos
Menus for Paphos rotations are chef-designed and then adapted to the cabin and the mission rather than issued as one fixed set for every departure. Where the season allows, the tray set draws on Cypriot produce — orchard fruit, dairy and fish landed locally — worked into a specification rather than left as a marketing line. Inflight catering here runs from a full VVIP plated service down to a galley-ready main cabin box, on the same kitchen schedule. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, so the galley loads the right tray to the right seat without a manual check at the door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Paphos are plated to a written specification rather than improvised on the day, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation gets the same result without a fresh brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at PFO run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft working the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so tray sets and meal boxes load in the sequence the galley needs.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements for Paphos departures are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alike. Halal and kosher trays, along with the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line and sealed before that line closes, which is how inflight catering here keeps a dietary set traceable back to one passenger and one seat.

“For a team flight from Paphos (PFO/LCPH), we booked group charter catering with several dietary requests. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. Very practical for team and group charter work. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

“For an urgent mission at Paphos (PFO/LCPH), the team supported us with repatriation flight catering. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. Reliable service when the mission does not allow delays. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Alice — Charter Operations Executive
“Our freighter crew needed cargo crew meals at Paphos (PFO/LCPH) during a short turnaround. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. We would use them again for another cargo sector. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
