Airline & VIP flight catering — Thailand
Airline, VIP & Private Jet Catering Across Thailand
Thailand's aprons run from Bangkok's 4,000 m main runway to wide-body fields across every region, and we load each one directly at the aircraft door by hi-loader. Airline catering here means ramp access, not kerbside delivery. Inflight and aviation catering run on the same cold chain from kitchen to galley.

Airline catering stations across Thailand
Below are the stations we serve across Thailand, each carrying its own runway data, aerodrome reference code and, where recorded, its FBOs. Open any station for the specification an ops desk needs before filing a request.

How aviation catering operates across Thailand
Thailand's traffic splits between the wide-body gateways at Bangkok's two airports and a spread of regional fields built to the same wide-body reference code, from Chiang Mai and Phuket in the north and south to Udon Thani, Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani inland. Airline catering companies working these routes deal with scheduled service at the gateways and a mix of charter, ad hoc and technical-stop demand at the regional stations, several of them holding wide-body stands despite a single runway.
An uplift here starts with an order to the ops desk: flight number, aircraft type, stand and meal counts by cabin. From there the request becomes a build against ground handling services already contracted at the station, then a load staged for hi-loader boarding rather than kerbside handover.
Airport catering across these fields holds to one cold chain regardless of which apron receives it, with sealed transport from kitchen to aircraft and documentation that follows the load leg by leg. Bangkok's runway count and length support the heaviest wide-body rotations; regional stations such as Rayong, Phitsanulok and Hat Yai carry the same reference code on a lighter schedule.

Five kinds of flying, one Thai operation
Across Thailand, one operation covers airline catering, government flight catering, royal flight catering, charter flight catering and private jet catering. VIP flight catering and crew meals run through the same kitchens and the same cold chain, regardless of which apron receives the load. The five profiles below route to the specification each requires.

Ordering Airline Catering: Thailand
Send the flight number, ETA, aircraft type and stand, together with passenger and crew counts by cabin and any special meal codes, to the ops desk covering the station you are working. That single message lets the build start against the correct galley plan and cold-chain schedule. Requests for scheduled rotations, ad hoc uplifts, government and royal movements, charter and private jet legs all route the same way. For an active file or a first quote, contact the ops desk directly and confirm the stand before the load is staged for hi-loader boarding.
Thailand Catering Questions
What Thai ops desks ask before departure
Ask operations directly →Which Thai stations take wide-body aircraft?
Bangkok's two airports, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Rayong, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Hat Yai, Krabi, Chiang Rai, Ubon Ratchathani, Nakhon Phanom, Narathiwat, Surat Thani, Nakhon Pathom, Takhli and Phitsanulok all carry a wide-body aerodrome reference code.
Do you load at the aircraft or hand over airside?
Uplifts are loaded directly on board by hi-loader wherever the stand and equipment allow it, rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
Can you cater a diversion or technical stop in Thailand?
Yes, ad hoc and diversion uplifts run through the same ops desk as scheduled work, built against flight number, aircraft type and stand as soon as they are filed.
Do you handle government and royal movements separately from airline work?
Government, state and royal flights are run through cleared staff and sealed loads with a named coordinator, on the same cold chain as commercial airline catering.
Which FBOs do you deliver to for private jet catering?
Mjets Ltd at Bangkok Don Mueang and the Siam Land Private Jet Terminal at Phuket both receive uplifts from our private-jet branch, on the same paperwork as an airline load.
