Aviation catering — Kertajati, Indonesia
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Kertajati (WICA / KJT)
KJT (IATA) · WICA (ICAO)
Kertajati holds a narrow-body aerodrome reference code, which sets the fleet mix our kitchen provisions and the tray count we plan against on every rotation. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at WICA, hi-loader boarded to galley height and staged airside for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet uplift.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, KJT
Every catering uplift at Kertajati is built to the narrow-body reference code the field holds, so the cart count and the galley sequence are fixed before the truck leaves the kitchen. Ramp access governs the last stage of the run: the crew crosses the apron on the same route each time, cleared once and checked at the aircraft. What changes is the timing window around a delay or a swap, never the sealed contents of the cart.
Between our kitchen and the aircraft at Kertajati sit screening, an escort across the apron and the ordinary traffic of a narrow-body stand, and the galley catering plan is built to absorb the worst of them rather than react to it. Each cart is sealed at the kitchen door, logged again on handover, and the chain of custody runs from that seal to the signature at the galley without a gap. A single coordinator carries the catering uplift from dispatch to boarding, so no rotation depends on more than one name being reachable. Nothing about the run at WICA is left to be reconstructed afterwards: it is written down as it happens.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft: nothing in between goes unrecorded.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Kertajati (KJT)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for WICA
The flight kitchen behind Kertajati runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, provisioning airport catering to the narrow-body fleet mix this field holds. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, and the same standard applies whether the load is a scheduled rotation or a single ad hoc uplift. Airport catering at KJT is built around that one kitchen rather than around a shifting set of subcontractors, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from the larder to the galley door.
The team behind catering at WICA is the same named crew on every government or household rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the household standards a royal household expects of a sealed uplift. That continuity is what protocol officers check first, ahead of the tray count. Government flight catering here is worked by people the desk already knows, not by whoever is free that day.
VIP flight catering menus for Kertajati, Indonesia departures
VVIP catering written per mission at Kertajati airport
Menus at Kertajati are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for the season, drawing on Indonesia's produce for fish, orchard fruit and dairy without naming a single dish on the page. Inflight catering here runs from a VIP flight menu plated for a head-of-state movement to a charter flight menu built for a full wide-body load, on the same kitchen and the same standard. Every set is labelled per passenger and per cabin, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements documented against the loading sheet before the cart is sealed. Nothing leaves the kitchen without that label attached.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Kertajati are plated to a written specification kept on file between movements, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard without a fresh briefing each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at WICA run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on board, boxed in tray sets ready for the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in their own boxed sets against the duty roster, separate from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Kertajati are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen. Inflight catering in Kertajati is planned so a household or medical requirement never depends on a verbal note at the stand.

Flight catering airside delivery at Kertajati
Kertajati's narrow-body reference code sets the traffic profile we plan against, and a mixed load of scheduled, charter and government movements is worked to the same tray count each rotation rather than to a fleet that varies stand by stand. That consistency turns catering into a documentation exercise as much as a production one: the same aircraft type means the same cart layout, freeing the desk to focus on what changes, which is usually the passenger list.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our flight kitchen, staged on the apron and cleared onto the stand under our own ramp badges rather than handed off at a gate. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at KJT all run off that one route, with airport catering planned stand by stand so the loading crew never crosses another aircraft's path. Airline catering at KJT is scheduled against the same slot the aircraft itself is given, not against a separate catering window.
On every rotation at Kertajati, one coordinator carries the load from dispatch to a signed handover, with sealed carts logged at both ends.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at WICA
01
Government and state flight catering at WICA
Kertajati's narrow-body reference code sets the cabin layout a head-of-state aircraft is loaded to here, and government flight catering is planned against that fixed configuration rather than against a varying fleet. State visits and official delegations move through a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff sealing the uplift before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at KJT
A private airliner sized to Kertajati's narrow-body reference code — BBJ, ACJ or a comparable VIP configuration — is what this stand is built to load, and royal flight catering here runs to a written household specification kept on file between movements. Halal sets and other household requirements are produced against that same file on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Kertajati
On the narrow-body reference code held at Kertajati, a full charter load is counted against the loading sheet the same way a scheduled rotation is. Charter flight catering at WICA covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at KJT staged in the order the galleys are laid out.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at WICA
Kertajati's narrow-body reference code means every carrier working this field loads to the same airframe, and we run ad hoc airline catering off that fixed layout rather than reconfiguring for each tail. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals boxed to the same rotation and ad hoc catering at KJT scheduled inside the aircraft's own slot.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at KJT
Sequencing a business jet alongside scheduled traffic on Kertajati's narrow-body stands is the constraint the ramp works around, since the same reference code governs both. Private jet catering at KJT is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal by our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We used tour operator charter catering at Kertajati (KJT/WICA) for a team charter and had a good experience. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. We would book them again for another team movement. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Eduardo — Ground Handling Coordinator
“Our flight through Kertajati (KJT/WICA) required evacuation flight catering with limited preparation time. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. Strong support for a demanding operation. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Eva — Station Services Coordinator
“We used the team at Kertajati (KJT/WICA) for cargo crew meals on a night operation. They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. We would use them again for another cargo sector. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at Kertajati, Indonesia
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Kertajati, Indonesia
What operations gets asked every week about Kertajati.
Ask operations directly →Kertajati — do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
The hi-loader carries each cart from our kitchen to the galley door, so airside delivery ends at the aircraft itself rather than at the foot of the stand.
What lead time does Kertajati airport need for an order, and how late can the specification change?
We ask for standard lead time on the initial order and take late changes to cabin count or dietary sets up to the loading window, which is how far in advance most desks confirm the base numbers.
Can KJT support private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The GA terminal and the FBOs on the field are both reached by our dedicated branch, and FBO catering here runs on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Working to Kertajati's single narrow-body stand, how much does airline catering cost at WICA?
There is no published price list; airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window, and the desk returns a quotation once those are set.
How are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes handled at Kertajati?
Kertajati produces halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes on a separate line, each one documented per passenger before it is sealed.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Kertajati airport, and under what protocol?
Yes, under a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff handling VIP flight catering and government flight catering to the same household standard on every rotation.
