Aviation catering — Polonnaruwa Town, Sri Lanka
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Polonnaruwa Town (VCCH / HIM)
HIM (IATA) · VCCH (ICAO)
AERO GOURMET delivers inflight catering at Polonnaruwa Town (VCCH), Sri Lanka, for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet movements on a narrow-body reference field, where three cabins board by hi-loader to galley height rather than at the foot of the aircraft. That wide-body method carries across to every rotation here, and in-flight catering runs from one ops desk, sealed, escorted and handed over airside on a single ramp routing.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at HIM
Ramp access at Polonnaruwa Town is what a catering uplift is measured against, not a promise made at the desk. Every cart clears the same apron sequence before it reaches the aircraft, sealed at the kitchen and opened only at the galley door. That sequence is fixed regardless of aircraft type, and it is what the stand at HIM is worked to on every rotation.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Polonnaruwa Town sit screening, an escort and the ordinary traffic of the apron, and a galley catering run is planned against the busiest of those, not the easiest. The chain of custody starts at the seal and does not break until a signature closes it at the aircraft. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, so a catering uplift carries its own record from the kitchen door to the galley.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature: nothing about the uplift is improvised.
Airline food supplier for Polonnaruwa Town (HIM) rotations

Cleared crews behind government flight catering at VCCH
Airport catering for Polonnaruwa Town runs from a flight kitchen built to HACCP standard, with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof rather than split across suppliers. That single-roof arrangement is what lets airport catering here hold one cold chain from the first tray sealed to the last one loaded. Flight kitchen output for HIM moves under that same standard whatever the mission on the stand.
The team that handles government flight catering at Polonnaruwa Town is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file, entry on the access list, and training to household service standards. Paperwork travels with the sealed uplift rather than behind it, so a chain of custody exists from the kitchen seal to the cabin door. That crew does not change between a scheduled service and a state movement.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Polonnaruwa Town, Sri Lanka
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Polonnaruwa Town airport
Menus at Polonnaruwa Town are designed to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, drawing on Sri Lanka's dairy, fish and orchard produce where the route allows local sourcing. Inflight catering here moves from a full VIP flight menu at the front of the aircraft to a charter flight menu built for group volume further back, with seasonal changes worked into the cycle rather than left to guesswork. Every set is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen, carrying allergen, halal and kosher information as part of the same record. Special and medical requirements are documented against the booking, not against memory.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Polonnaruwa Town are worked to a written specification rather than an open brief, with plated service and à-la-carte options available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served the same way every time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at HIM take multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's own galley, boxed as tray sets for the cabin crew. Crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately from cabin crew meals and boxed to the roster rather than to a general count.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Polonnaruwa Town, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, this inflight catering output keeps protocol and dietary work apart from the main cabin run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Polonnaruwa Town
Between scheduled, charter and government traffic on a narrow-body reference field, Polonnaruwa Town mixes a repeat rotation with the occasional delegation movement, and each carries a different demand on the kitchen: a delegation is a documentation load, a peak wave is a capacity load, and a repeat service is simply worked the same way each time.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader to galley height, moving from the flight kitchen through one ramp routing rather than a series of separate deliveries. Ground handling on the apron and airside delivery to the stand are run as one sequence, with our own coordinator on the ramp for every load.
On this stand we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so airline catering, aviation catering, in-flight catering, inflight catering and airport catering at HIM all run off the same desk rather than several.
