Aviation catering — Kediri, Indonesia
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Kediri (WARD / DHX)
DHX (IATA) · WARD (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code assigned to Kediri sets the class of aircraft this station is built to feed, and the fit governs how every uplift is planned from kitchen to galley door. We run inflight catering and in-flight catering off one hi-loader crew, boarded directly to the sill rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, across three cabins on a single wide-body stand at WARD. AERO GOURMET holds that standard on every rotation through Kediri.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Kediri (DHX)
Kediri works to one wide-body reference code, and that single classification is what fixes the loading sequence our crews follow from the moment a cart is sealed. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than an escorted pass, which keeps the route from kitchen to stand under one authority for the length of the catering uplift. Apron traffic at DHX is worked around, never through, so the galley door sees the cart at the time the loading sheet sets.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Kediri sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and each of them is a point where a convoy can slip rather than the food itself failing. We plan the galley catering run against the worst of those three, not the average, because a single delay compounds across a wide-body's three cabins. Chain of custody is held by one named coordinator from seal to signature, with temperature logged at sealing and again at handover, so the catering uplift is accountable stand by stand rather than trusted on arrival.
The convoy is the risk we plan against here, never the food itself.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for WARD

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Kediri, Indonesia
The flight kitchen that provisions WARD runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP procedure from intake to sealed cart. Airport catering at Kediri is planned against the wide-body reference code held on this field, so tray sets and passenger meal boxes are built to the cabin configuration before a rotation lands. That same discipline governs airport catering in Kediri whether the movement is a scheduled service or a single ad hoc uplift.
The team that handles government flight catering at Kediri is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster assembled to the movement. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household and protocol standards a sealed uplift travels under. That continuity is what lets a repeat delegation move through WARD without re-briefing the crew each time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at DHX
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at WARD / DHX
Menus at Kediri are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed cycle, and that discipline is what keeps inflight catering consistent across a wide-body's three classes on one rotation. Where produce is drawn from Indonesia, it is sourced in general categories only, dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into the specification rather than named as a dish. Every plate, tray or box carries a documented allergen, halal, kosher or medical set, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. That labelling travels with the load, not as an afterthought once it is on the aircraft.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Kediri are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than improvised at the stand. VIP flight catering here is filed against that standing order, so presentation is repeatable movement after movement, not reinvented each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at DHX run on multi-choice hot service sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, oven-ready and boxed to the tray sets the cabin specifies. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and rostered against the duty pattern, not folded into the passenger load.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at WARD, with halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it. Inflight catering in Indonesia is built to carry that documentation with the tray, not alongside it.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Kediri airport
Kediri carries a wide-body reference code, which means every rotation through the field is planned for a large-cabin configuration rather than a narrow-body turnaround, and that single classification is what sets the volume our kitchen prepares against. A delegation moving through here is a documentation exercise before it is a meal count, while a repeat charter is a matter of holding the same specification rotation after rotation.
The uplift moves from our flight kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded directly to the galley door rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the length of the load. Airport catering at Kediri is planned stand by stand rather than against a fixed schedule, because the reference code held here governs how the load is sequenced across three cabins.
On every movement through WARD we commit to one named coordinator, sealed carts from kitchen to galley, and a signed handover at the door, the same discipline whether the aviation catering at Kediri covers a scheduled service, in-flight catering in Indonesia for a charter, or a single ad hoc uplift.

“Our flight at Kediri (DHX/WARD) required HACCP with clear service-by-service organization. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Good attention to the operational side of catering. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Olivier — Cargo Duty Officer
“We had a catering uplift requirement at Kediri (DHX/WARD) and the coordination was very smooth. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

“We used the team for FBO catering at Kediri (DHX/WARD) on a VIP trip. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Aviation catering FAQ for Kediri airport
Technical stop catering questions at DHX
What operations gets asked every week about Kediri.
Ask operations directly →Does DHX get airline catering delivered airside, and how does it reach the aircraft?
The hi-loader is what carries the uplift, boarding it directly to galley height rather than leaving it at the foot of the aircraft, so airside delivery at DHX runs door to door without a ground transfer.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at WARD, and under what protocol?
Yes, with the file documented per passenger: VIP flight catering and government flight catering at this station both run under a protocol pack that travels sealed with the load and is signed off at handover.
Given the single wide-body stand at Kediri, how much does airline catering cost here?
There is no fixed price list; airline catering cost depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a quotation once those are set.
How are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced at Kediri Airport?
Kediri Airport receives halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes from a separate production line, each one documented per passenger and sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
Can DHX support private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
The same cold chain and paperwork used for an airline uplift covers private jet catering at DHX, delivered to the GA terminal and every FBO on the field without exception.
