Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Anuradhapura (VCCA / ACJ)
ACJ (IATA) · VCCA (ICAO)
A single narrow-body stand at Anuradhapura sets the sequencing before anything else: with one runway of 1486 metres and no second stand to spread traffic across, every uplift is planned in its own slot rather than in parallel. Inflight catering here runs on that discipline, and in-flight catering reaches the galley by hi-loader, sealed and staged for one wide-body boarding.

On the apron — Anuradhapura
Aviation catering with ramp access at Anuradhapura (ACJ)
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at ACJ
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at VCCA / ACJ
Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the galley door closing at Anuradhapura, the sequence is worked once, not split across parallel positions. Ramp access governs the pace: with a single narrow-body stand, the catering uplift is timed to the apron slot rather than fitted around other loads. That single-position discipline is what keeps the window measured rather than approximate.
Between our kitchen and the one working stand at Anuradhapura sit screening, an escort onto the apron, and the ramp traffic that a single-position field still has to clear before the cart moves. We plan the catering uplift and the wider galley catering sequence against the worst of that, not the average of it, because a single stand leaves no second chance if the first pass slips.
Every cart is sealed at the kitchen door and the seal is checked again at handover, with temperatures logged at both ends so the chain of custody is documented rather than assumed. A signature closes the load at the aircraft, tying the record from kitchen to galley in one unbroken line.
One stand, one sequence, one signature closing the load at the aircraft.
Airline catering companies' production standard at VCCA
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Anuradhapura
The flight kitchen that provisions Anuradhapura runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built around a single narrow-body stand rather than a bank of parallel gates. Airport catering here answers to HACCP throughout, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray leaves the larder to the moment it is sealed for the cart. Airport catering at VCCA is planned around that one working position, never split across a footprint the field does not have.
The team that handles government flight catering at Anuradhapura is the same named crew every rotation, working to the single narrow-body sequence rather than a multi-stand roster. Security clearance sits on file for every member, each is on the access list, and each is trained to household service standards and to the paperwork a sealed uplift carries with it. Catering at ACJ moves through that one crew, not a rotating pool.
VIP flight catering menus for Anuradhapura airport departures
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at ACJ
Menus for Anuradhapura are built to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle: a VIP flight menu for a household movement, a charter flight menu for a group rotation, a standing specification for a scheduled carrier. Sri Lanka's produce enters where the mission allows it, from orchard fruit to dairy and fish worked into a plated or a tray-set service depending on the cabin. Inflight catering at Anuradhapura is written this way for every segment that boards here, scheduled or ad hoc. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, produced on a line that is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Anuradhapura are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation is served to the same record every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at ACJ take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets, sized to the aircraft's own galley fit rather than a generic format. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and matched to the roster, not folded into the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for every rotation through Anuradhapura, with halal and kosher sets produced against the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering here keeps that production on a separate line, sealed before it joins the rest of the uplift.

Flight catering airside delivery at Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
Anuradhapura's traffic runs on a single narrow-body stand, which turns every delegation into a documentation exercise and every repeat rotation into a matter of holding the same specification twice over rather than scaling a peak wave across parallel gates. Airline catering at ACJ is planned around that one working position, with in-flight catering at Anuradhapura sequenced rather than run in parallel.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the single stand by sealed cart, boarded by hi-loader to galley height under escort onto the apron, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover. Aviation catering at ACJ and airport catering in Anuradhapura both answer to that same route, whichever segment is flying.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, and inflight catering in Sri Lanka is committed to sealed carts and a signed handover on every movement through this stand.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Anuradhapura
01
Government and state flight catering at Anuradhapura
Our kitchen works the 1486 m runway's single stand as one sequence, which is exactly the discipline a head of state movement needs: government flight catering at Anuradhapura for state visits and official delegations, with the protocol file documented per passenger and security-cleared staff on the access list. The uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen, never at the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at VCCA
The single narrow-body stand at Anuradhapura carries a household specification the same way on every pass, kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt each time. Royal flight catering at this station covers private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP — with halal and household dietary requirements on request and held to that written standard.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at ACJ
A wide-body VIP movement or a group charter both work through the same aerodrome reference code, narrow-body, which is what fixes the loading sheet before the aircraft is even on the stand. Charter flight catering at Anuradhapura covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, and charter flight catering at VCCA is staged to the galley layout, cabin by cabin.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Anuradhapura
A 1486 m runway, and that single figure sets what can be worked from the one stand it feeds: ad hoc airline catering for carriers running Anuradhapura as an outstation, boarded off the same duty roster as a scheduled rotation. Outstation catering in Anuradhapura, diversion catering and technical stop catering are held on that roster too, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern; crew meals in Sri Lanka and crew meals at ACJ travel on the same cart.

Private jet and FBO catering at VCCA
At a field held to a narrow-body reference code, business aviation shares the same single stand and the same sequencing as the wide-body traffic. Private jet catering in Sri Lanka reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“I asked for airline meal boxes at Anuradhapura (ACJ/VCCA) because we had limited time to reset the galley. The order came ready for service with no unnecessary packaging or loose items to sort through. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Jose — Flight Operations Coordinator
“We used the team for ad hoc catering at Anuradhapura (ACJ/VCCA) during a tight turnaround. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. Good support for a changing flight schedule. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Hugo — Outstation Manager
“I needed reliable private jet menu at Anuradhapura (ACJ/VCCA) for a same-day departure. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. I would definitely order from them again. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at Anuradhapura airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Anuradhapura airport
What operations gets asked every week about Anuradhapura.
Ask operations directly →When can you handle VIP flight catering, VVIP and government flight catering at VCCA, and under what protocol?
When a movement is confirmed, the file is documented per passenger and handled by security-cleared staff under the same protocol every rotation, whether the flight is a private airliner or a scheduled service.
Does Anuradhapura require a fixed lead time, and how late can a specification still change?
Every order is scheduled against the loading window rather than a fixed calendar cut-off, and how far in advance you confirm shapes how late the specification can still move; a change close to departure is still worked whenever the sequence allows it, even at short notice for last minute airline catering.
Which factors set the airline catering cost at Anuradhapura?
The route from kitchen to stand, the cart and the hi-loader pass required, the cabin count and the specification chosen together set the quotation; we publish no price list and the desk returns a figure once those are known.
Where do you deliver private jet catering on the field at ACJ?
The delivery record shows FBO catering reaching every operator on the field, uplifted to the GA terminal and the FBOs there on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline load.
Are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for flights through VCCA?
The coordinator on duty documents every SPML request per passenger, and halal, kosher and the full range of special meals are produced on a separate line before being sealed into the uplift.
