Airline, VIP and Charter Catering Across Belgium
Belgium's airline catering runs through Zaventem, where a 3,638-metre runway and wide-body stands take scheduled, government and charter movements alike. Loads board directly by hi-loader at the aircraft door, not at the foot of the stand. Ramp access is arranged before the uplift moves.

How Airline Catering Runs in Belgium
Belgium's aviation catering runs through Zaventem (BRU / EBBR), the country's wide-body gateway, where three runways and a wide-body-rated reference code carry scheduled airline traffic alongside government, charter and business aviation movements. The longest of those runways, at 3,638 metres, supports the aircraft types that drive the bulk of Belgian airline catering demand.
A request reaches our ops desk as a flight number, an ETA and a pax and crew count per cabin. From there the load is built against the aircraft's stand and cleared for ramp access, so the uplift moves straight to galley height by hi-loader rather than waiting at the foot of the aircraft.
Cold chain is held from production to boarding, with documentation that satisfies both the airline's own audit and the customs regime an uplift crosses at a Belgian aerodrome. The same kitchen serves scheduled carriers, ad hoc diversions and AOG requests without a change of process.
Zaventem's FBO capacity, through AVIAVIP and EXECUJET BELGIUM, extends the same cold chain and paperwork to business aviation movements on the same apron.
