Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Ho Chi Minh City (VVTS / SGN)
SGN (IATA) · VVTS (ICAO)
Two runways and wide-body stands at Ho Chi Minh City (VVTS) let a full-size aircraft board on one rotation, with hi-loader access carrying the uplift straight to galley height instead of the foot of the stand. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering from one ops desk here, covering scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures across wide-body and multi-class cabins.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at VVTS / SGN
Ramp access is what turns a two-runway wide-body station into a working loading window rather than a queue at the perimeter fence. The catering uplift for VVTS moves under our own escort from the sealed cart to the galley door, timed against apron traffic rather than against a fixed clock. That same sequence repeats on every rotation, whichever stand the aircraft is given.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Ho Chi Minh City sit screening, an escorted apron crossing and the ordinary traffic of a two-runway field, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of that rather than the average of it. Chain of custody runs on paper as much as on the ramp: every cart is sealed at the kitchen, logged again at the aircraft, and handed over against a signature rather than a verbal confirmation. Galley catering at this station is timed to survive a delay on the apron, not just a departure that runs to schedule, with the temperature log closing the loop at both ends.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley door.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)
Airport catering at Ho Chi Minh City runs from a facility built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line kept under one roof rather than split across separate premises. That layout is what lets a wide-body rotation, a diplomatic movement and a charter group be worked from the same kitchen without one queue holding up another. Production is run to HACCP, and the same standard governs airport catering Vietnam wide, with the flight kitchen SGN sequencing tray sets and passenger meal boxes to the cold chain that carries them to the stand.
The team behind government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota filled from whoever is free that shift. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on the access list rather than being escorted in ad hoc, and they work to written household standards on top of the standing food-safety procedure. That continuity is what SGN catering depends on when a protocol officer needs the same faces at the galley door every time.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Ho Chi Minh City
VVIP catering written per mission at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Menus at this station are built to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed carte, with First, Business and main cabin each carrying its own specification through the same kitchen. Local sourcing draws on Vietnam's produce where the season allows it, from fish and orchard fruit to dairy worked into the pastry line, without pinning the menu to a single dish. Inflight catering VVTS runs on documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, each one labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. The same tray standard carries a scheduled service, a charter group and a government movement through one production line.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Ho Chi Minh City are plated to a written specification, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request rather than fixed to a set menu. This is where VIP flight catering SGN is filed against a standing order, so the presentation repeats on the next rotation exactly as it ran on the last.
Business cabins
Business cabins at VVTS run on multi-choice hot service built to the fitted galley, with tray sets and meal boxes sized to the aircraft rather than adapted after loading. Crew meals in Ho Chi Minh City are boxed separately from the cabin service, cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept on their own roster so the flight deck set never mixes with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Ho Chi Minh City are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical requirements alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Halal and kosher trays are produced on a separate line and sealed before they leave it, which is how inflight catering in Ho Chi Minh City keeps a mixed-requirement cabin moving through one boarding sequence.

Airport catering delivered airside at VVTS
Ho Chi Minh City runs scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways, and that mix turns catering into three different problems rather than one: a delegation is a documentation problem, a peak wave of departures is a capacity problem, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a problem of keeping the same tray standard consistent week after week. Airline catering here is planned against whichever of those three is dominant on a given day, not against a single fixed volume.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels under escort to the stand, with hi-loader boarding taking it to galley height rather than leaving it at the foot of the aircraft; ramp access is held on our own badges rather than borrowed from a third party. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at this station all run off that same route, coordinated from one ops desk rather than handed between separate teams. Airport catering in Ho Chi Minh City is planned stand by stand so that a change of gate does not become a change of plan.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to aircraft, and a signed handover at the galley door, with airline catering Vietnam wide held to that same commitment rather than a lighter version of it at outstations.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)
01
Government and state flight catering at SGN
A dedicated ramp routine at Ho Chi Minh City, built around escorted hi-loader access rather than kerbside delivery, is what makes government flight catering workable here for state visits and official delegations. Protocol is documented per passenger, cleared personnel handle the load throughout, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves the kitchen, which is the standard a head of state movement is worked to at this station.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Ho Chi Minh City
Wide-body stands at this station take private airliners as readily as scheduled aircraft, which is what lets royal flight catering here run to the same written household specification whichever airframe is on the ramp. BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements are held to that file between rotations rather than rebuilt each time, with royal household requirements and halal sets produced on request. VVIP catering follows the same sealed route as every other uplift on this ramp.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at VVTS
Wide-body stands at Ho Chi Minh City carry a full three-cabin uplift as easily for a one-off movement as for a scheduled service, which is the basis charter flight catering runs on here. ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions are staged in the order the galleys are laid out, counted against the loading sheet before departure. Multi-leg rotations keep charter flight catering consistent stand to stand across the same trip.

Airline and ad hoc catering at SGN
Two runways and wide-body stands at VVTS mean the same reference code that clears a scheduled long-haul aircraft also clears an unplanned arrival, which is what ad hoc airline catering here is built around. Outstation catering keeps a carrier's tray standard consistent when this station is not its home base, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked off the same duty roster, and AOG cover follows the aircraft through a multi-leg rotation. Crew meals in Ho Chi Minh City travel on the same manifest as the cabin load.

Private jet and FBO catering at Ho Chi Minh City
The same two runways that clear a wide-body rotation at this station also carry the business aviation traffic worked from the GA terminal, on the same ramp access as an airline uplift. Private jet catering at Ho Chi Minh City reaches the FBOs on the field through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering and business aviation catering held to the same cold chain and the same paperwork as a scheduled departure.
