Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at AOJ
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at RJSA / AOJ
The loading window at our Aomori kitchen is measured, not estimated, from the sealed cart leaving the door to the signature at the galley. Ramp access is held on our own badges rather than a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft, so the catering uplift moves under escort the whole way. Screening and apron traffic are worked into the sequence before the convoy leaves, not after it is delayed.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Aomori sit screening, an escort leg and apron traffic that shifts by the hour, and none of it is left to chance on a government or royal household rotation. We plan the catering uplift against the worst case each of those three can produce, not the average one, so a delay on the ramp does not become a delay at the galley door. Temperature is logged the moment the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, and galley catering only moves under one named signature that closes the load. That signature is what stands behind the chain of custody once the cart leaves our sight, and it is checked again against the loading sheet before the door is called ready.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley at Aomori.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for RJSA
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Aomori
Airport catering at Aomori runs from a kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, rather than a single production line splitting its time across every order. That layout is what lets airport catering in Aomori hold a wide-body rotation and a government movement on the same day without either one waiting on the other. Every tray leaving the building is produced to the HACCP standard the kitchen runs to, logged before the flight kitchen at AOJ hands the load to the ramp.
The team behind government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a delegation is confirmed, trained to royal household standards and to the paperwork a sealed uplift has to travel with. That continuity is what keeps the chain of custody intact between the kitchen and the aircraft door, movement after movement.
VIP flight catering menus for Aomori airport departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at AOJ
Our menus at Aomori are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed set of dishes, drawing on Japan's coastal fish, dairy and orchard produce where the rotation allows local sourcing. Inflight catering at Aomori moves from passenger meal boxes for a full charter load to a plated VIP flight menu for a smaller cabin, on the same kitchen line. Special meals are documented and produced apart from the main run: allergen sets, halal, kosher and the seasonal changes a longer rotation needs. Every set is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed, so the galley receives exactly the count the loading sheet calls for.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Aomori are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to one set menu. VIP flight catering here is checked against that specification before the cart is sealed, so the presentation on the second rotation matches the first.
Business cabins
Business cabins at RJSA run multi-choice hot service to a written cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in the same load, and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster rather than folded into the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Aomori are documented per passenger before the cart is loaded, covering household, religious and medical requests alongside halal and kosher sets. The full range of IATA special meal codes is produced on a separate line and sealed apart from the main run, so inflight catering for one dietary set never crosses the general load.

Airside airport catering at Aomori, Japan
Aomori carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body-rated runway, which turns a delegation into a documentation task and a peak wave into a capacity one rather than two separate problems. Airline catering here runs off one ops desk regardless of which of the three is moving that day, so a repeat rotation is planned once and repeated rather than re-briefed each time.
The route from our kitchen to the stand is worked by hi-loader, boarding straight to galley height instead of a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the whole transfer. Inflight catering, in-flight catering in Japan and aviation catering at RJSA run off that same route, and airport catering at Aomori is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal.
On every one of those movements we commit to a single named coordinator, sealed carts from the kitchen door onward, and a signed handover at the galley that closes the load.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Aomori
01
Government and state flight catering at RJSA
A head-of-state aircraft is boarded on the same wide-body stand this field holds for any other wide-body movement, which is what lets government flight catering at Aomori run without a dedicated apron. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff carry security clearance on file, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at AOJ
Against a 3001 metre runway, private airliners in the BBJ and ACJ class board here on the same terms as a wide-body VIP movement, with nothing shorter turning the rotation away. Royal flight catering at this station holds a written household specification on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Aomori
A single wide-body-rated runway means a group charter and a scheduled arrival share the same loading sequence rather than separate slots, so the tray set has to be staged in the order the galleys are laid out. Charter flight catering at Aomori covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at RJSA counted against the loading sheet for a full three-cabin uplift.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at RJSA
The single wide-body stand at Aomori takes a scheduled carrier one day and a diversion the next, without a second stand to absorb the overlap. Ad hoc airline catering here backs carriers running this station as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering worked off one duty roster; AOG is covered on the same call, across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at AOJ
3001 metres of runway, which brings business aviation onto the same wide-body-rated ramp as the airline traffic rather than a separate general aviation strip. Private jet catering in Aomori reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated business aviation catering branch, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, covered as FBO catering and business jet catering alike.

“Our team used the service at Aomori (AOJ/RJSA) for state visit aircraft catering with strict timing and handling requirements. Special meals and crew items were clearly separated, and the aircraft-side handover was smooth. We were very satisfied with the level of coordination. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Julien — Ground Services Manager
“For a VIP rotation through Aomori (AOJ/RJSA), we used the team for VIP airliner catering. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Enzo — Passenger Services Manager
“We booked pilgrim flight catering at Aomori (AOJ/RJSA) for a large group departure. The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. We would use the service again for a similar charter. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at Aomori airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Aomori airport
What operations gets asked every week about Aomori.
Ask operations directly →Which lead time does Aomori airline catering need, and how late can the specification change?
Our loader and sealed-cart route into Aomori works on a standing lead time for the initial order, with the specification itself open to change closer to departure; ask the desk for the cut-off on your rotation. Last minute airline catering is handled the same way, routed through the same cart rather than a separate process.
What halal, kosher and SPML options does AERO GOURMET produce at Aomori Airport?
We produce halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes on a line kept apart from the main run, documented per passenger before sealing. Every SPML request travels with the loading sheet, so the galley receives the exact count ordered.
Do you publish an airline catering cost for AOJ?
Yes, by quotation rather than a fixed list, worked out from the cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window requested. Two rotations with the same cabin mix can carry different costs once the mission and the season are factored in.
Can AERO GOURMET handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at RJSA?
A single wide-body stand covers a head-of-state movement on the same terms as a scheduled arrival, with VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run to a documented protocol. Security clearance and household standards apply on every one of those rotations, not only the larger ones.
How does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at Aomori?
Aomori is worked by our dedicated business aviation branch, delivering FBO catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift. Nothing about the route changes for a smaller aircraft.
With a single runway at Aomori Airport, is airline catering delivered airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
There is hi-loader boarding straight to galley height on every wide-body stand this field holds, rather than a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft. Airside delivery runs under escort from our kitchen door to the galley, on our own ramp badges.
