Aviation catering — Sapporo, Japan
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Sapporo (RJCC / CTS)
CTS (IATA) · RJCC (ICAO)
At a field built to the wide-body reference code, two runways up to 3000 metres bring in scheduled, charter and government widebodies with room to spare for the uplift that follows. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here by hi-loader, boarded to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with every uplift staged against a fixed loading window.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Sapporo
Sapporo's two runways and wide-body reference code set the tempo we plan the uplift against, so the loading window here runs on a fixed sequence rather than a guess at the stand. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, which keeps the sealed cart moving from kitchen to apron without waiting on a shared gate. Each catering uplift is timed to the same rhythm the ramp already keeps, so the galley door closes exactly when the loading plan says it should.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stands at CTS sit screening, an escort and the ordinary traffic of a two-runway apron, and none of it is left to chance on a catering uplift. We plan the convoy against the busiest version of that route, not the easiest one, because the risk on any uplift sits in the transit rather than in the galley catering itself. Every cart is sealed at the kitchen, its temperature logged there and again at the aircraft, and the chain of custody closes only once a name is signed against the handover at the galley.
One coordinator owns the load from the sealed cart to the signed handover.
Airline catering companies' production standard at Sapporo airport
Airline food supplier crews cleared for CTS
Two runways rated to a wide-body reference code mean this station takes the widest cabins scheduled, charter and government traffic bring through, and our flight kitchen at Sapporo is built around that same scale. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line run under one roof to a HACCP standard, so airport catering leaving the door is already sealed to the specification the galley expects. That same production line is what makes airport catering at CTS repeatable rotation after rotation, not a one-off built around a single flight.
The team behind government flight catering at Sapporo is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for one movement. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state file requires. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift move from kitchen to galley door with one name accountable for it throughout.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Sapporo (CTS)
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at RJCC
Menus at Sapporo are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation, a state movement and a charter group are not served from the same plan. Hokkaido's dairy, seafood and orchard produce inform the sourcing without naming a single supplier or a dish, kept general the way a specification sheet is general. Inflight catering here runs from passenger meal boxes on a multi-class rotation to a full VVIP set on a private airliner, each cycle adjusted for season. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, never assumed at the galley door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins out of Sapporo are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and checked before it ever reaches the galley, so the presentation on board matches what was signed off in the kitchen.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CTS take multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals travel on the same cycle, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately to the roster at Sapporo.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements out of RJCC are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes alongside household and medical requests. This inflight catering line is produced separately from the main cycle so a religious or medical set never shares a tray run with the standard menu.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at RJCC / CTS
Sapporo takes scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways built to a wide-body reference code, so a state delegation, a peak charter wave and a repeat scheduled rotation can all be on the apron the same day. Each brings its own catering demand: a delegation is a documentation problem before it is a food one, a wave of charters is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a question of holding the same specification week after week.
The uplift leaves our kitchen on a sealed cart, moves airside under escort to the wide-body stand, and boards by hi-loader straight to galley door height rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at CTS all run off that one route and one ops desk, so a change to one rotation does not mean rebuilding the plan for the next.
Airport catering at Sapporo is committed to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts throughout, and a signed handover at the galley door.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at Sapporo, Japan
01
Government and state flight catering at CTS
Two runways rated to a wide-body reference code, so a head of state aircraft is worked the same way as a scheduled widebody rather than as an exception. Government flight catering at Sapporo covers state visits and official delegations with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff throughout, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Sapporo
Our kitchen holds household standards across repeat rotations at a field rated to the wide-body reference code, keeping a written specification on file between movements rather than rebuilding it each time. Royal flight catering at CTS extends to private airliners such as a BBJ or an ACJ, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at RJCC
The wide-body reference code held at Sapporo carries a full three-cabin uplift onto a single stand without splitting the load across two. Charter flight catering at RJCC serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering staged against the loading sheet in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at CTS
A 3000 metre runway has to be worked around on short notice when a diversion or a technical stop lands outside the planned rotation, and that is where ad hoc airline catering at Sapporo earns its place on the roster. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern, with crew meals boxed to the same cycle across Japan.

Private jet and FBO catering at Sapporo
A private airliner or a business jet moving through Sapporo draws on the same wide-body reference code infrastructure that clears a scheduled widebody onto its stand. Private jet catering in Sapporo reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run off the one kitchen.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged diverted flight catering at Sapporo (CTS/RJCC). Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. A dependable option for irregular operations. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Jin — Network Control Coordinator
“For an operation away from our normal base, we arranged outstation catering at Sapporo (CTS/RJCC). It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. We would be comfortable using the service there again. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Alexander — Flight Experience Manager
“We compared options for Sapporo (CTS/RJCC) and asked for an airline catering quote. The quote was detailed enough for operations and accounting, but still quick to review. We appreciated the transparency. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Business jet catering questions at Sapporo (CTS)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Sapporo (CTS)
What operations gets asked every week about Sapporo.
Ask operations directly →What FBO catering do you deliver at CTS?
We deliver private jet catering to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal, all on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
How do you handle VIP and government flight catering at RJCC, and under what protocol?
RJCC is where our household and state protocol line runs: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both move on a documented file, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift from kitchen to galley.
When does an order need to be placed for a Sapporo rotation, and how late can the specification change?
Once a slot is confirmed we set the lead time from there, and we still take last minute airline catering changes to cabin counts or special meal codes up to the loading window closing.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at Sapporo Chitose Airport, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Yes, by hi-loader: sealed carts move under escort from our kitchen to the wide-body stand and board straight to galley door height rather than being left at the foot of the aircraft.
