Aviation catering — Grâce-Hollogne, Belgium
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Grâce-Hollogne (EBLG / LGG)
LGG (IATA) · EBLG (ICAO)
Grâce-Hollogne carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which puts hi-loader boarding rather than kerb-side delivery at the centre of inflight catering here. AERO GOURMET runs in-flight catering to galley height on the same stands, with inflight catering staged from a kitchen positioned for the ramp, not the terminal.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at EBLG / LGG
Airport catering, one seal from kitchen to cabin at Grâce-Hollogne (LGG)
The catering uplift at EBLG moves on a sequence, not a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the ramp access route, handed over at the galley door. Ramp access is the variable that governs the sequence at Grâce-Hollogne, ahead of the food itself, because apron movement decides when the cart can reach the stand. Every leg of that route is logged, so the loading window is a record rather than an estimate.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Grâce-Hollogne sit screening, an escorted crossing and ordinary apron traffic, and none of them are left to chance on the day of a rotation. We plan the galley catering uplift against the worst case each of them can produce, so a delay on the apron does not become a delay at the aircraft door. Chain of custody runs from the sealed cart to the signature at the galley, with nothing handed off unrecorded along the way.
Temperature is logged twice: once when the load is sealed at the kitchen, and again at handover, so the cold record covers the whole route rather than one end of it. The signature that closes the load ties a named individual to the delivery, not a vehicle or a shift. That is the record an ops desk can produce if a rotation is ever queried.
One convoy, one seal, one signature: the risk sits in the crossing, not the kitchen.
Crew meals and pilot meals for EBLG departures

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at EBLG / LGG
Airport catering in Grâce-Hollogne is provisioned from a kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell working side by side, rather than a single galley-ready line. That layout is what lets airport catering in Belgium at this facility hold a First-cabin plated service and a main-cabin tray run on the same schedule without either slowing the other. The flight kitchen at LGG sits close enough to the ramp that the cold chain between sealing and hi-loader boarding stays under one continuous watch.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Grâce-Hollogne is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in as volume rises. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, entry sits on the access list rather than a day pass, and training runs to royal household service standards alongside the standing HACCP procedure. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, ahead of anything printed on a menu.
VIP flight catering menus for LGG departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at EBLG / LGG
Menus for inflight catering at EBLG are written to the cabin fitted on the aircraft and to the mission it is flying, not to a fixed network standard applied everywhere the same way. Belgian produce anchors the sourcing where the season allows it, drawing on the country's dairy, orchard fruit and North Sea fish rather than a single named supplier. Specifications move with the season and the rotation length, while the tray standard behind them holds constant across a multi-leg schedule. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin, so a change of aircraft never means a change of record.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Grâce-Hollogne are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to one set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat movement is served to the same record each time it lands.

Business cabins
Business cabins at EBLG run on multi-choice hot service built to the cabin specification fitted to that aircraft, boarded in oven-ready formats sized to the galley rather than a generic tray. Crew meals travel in the same load: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and rostered against the crew list for that sector.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Grâce-Hollogne are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical requests alongside halal and kosher sets produced to the full range of IATA SPML codes. Inflight catering in Grâce-Hollogne keeps that production on a separate line, sealed before it ever reaches the main load.

HACCP-compliant aircraft catering at Grâce-Hollogne (LGG)
Flight catering airside delivery at Grâce-Hollogne airport
Grâce-Hollogne carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code across two runways, which sets the traffic this station is built to take: scheduled and charter movements alongside government and VIP rotations, each with its own documentation load rather than a single standard file. A delegation adds a protocol layer that a scheduled sector does not carry, and a peak wave of charter departures turns the same kitchen output into a capacity question rather than a menu question.
Inflight catering at LGG reaches the aircraft by hi-loader, straight from the sealed cart to the galley door, with airside delivery routed on our own ramp access rather than a stand-side drop. In-flight catering in Belgium at this station is worked to that same route regardless of the segment, so a charter uplift and a scheduled uplift travel the same escorted path across the apron.
One coordinator holds the rotation from seal to signature, aviation catering at EBLG runs on carts sealed before departure from the kitchen, and airline catering in Grâce-Hollogne closes on a signed handover rather than a verbal confirmation at the stand.

The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. A good partner for sports charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
