Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Wevelgem (EBKT / KJK)
KJK (IATA) · EBKT (ICAO)
A 1900 m runway at Wevelgem lets us stage narrow-body movements against a single sequenced rotation, so inflight catering here is planned tail by tail rather than in a general pool. Wide-body loading discipline is applied the same way, with hi-loader boarding to galley height wherever the aircraft calls for it, and in-flight catering staged for uplift the moment airside clearance is granted.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Wevelgem (KJK)
Ramp access at Wevelgem is what a catering uplift is actually measured against here, not a general estimate of turnaround. From the moment the sealed cart clears our kitchen to the moment it is signed for at the galley door, the route runs across the apron under one continuous watch. That single named path, not a published average, is what an ops desk can plan a rotation around at KJK.
Between our kitchen and the stand at EBKT sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and the convoy through them is the real risk to a rotation, not the galley catering itself. We plan the route against the worst case on any given day rather than the average one, holding a chain of custody that does not break between the seal and the signature. Temperatures are logged at sealing and logged again at handover, so the catering uplift arrives with a written record rather than a verbal assurance. The cart that leaves our kitchen is the cart that is signed for at the aircraft, matched load for load.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing open between them.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Wevelgem, Belgium
Airport catering at Wevelgem runs from a single facility that keeps hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, rather than splitting the work across separate sites. That layout is what lets airport catering here move a full cabin specification and a household-standard tray set off the same production floor on the same morning. The kitchen runs to HACCP across every line, so a scheduled tray set and a sealed VIP cart are held to the identical standard before either leaves the building.
The team that handles government flight catering at KJK is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from wherever the roster allows. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the sealed areas, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects. That continuity is what keeps chain of custody intact from the kitchen floor to the cart, movement after movement, at catering handled the same way each time.
Halal airline meals and special meals at KJK
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at EBKT / KJK
Menus at Wevelgem are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single standing card, so a First cabin specification and a main-cabin tray set never share a production line by accident. Belgium's produce enters the frame in general terms only, dairy, orchard fruit and North Sea fish among them, worked into a VIP flight menu or a charter flight menu as the mission calls for, and adjusted with the season rather than fixed year round. Inflight catering here is built against a written specification held on file, not improvised against a general standard. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, so nothing reaches the galley without a matching record.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Wevelgem are plated to a written specification rather than a standing menu, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request against that same file. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order before the cart ever leaves the kitchen, so presentation at KJK matches the record every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at EBKT run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft rather than a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew each open the set built for their duty.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Wevelgem are documented per passenger rather than left to a standing assumption, covering household, religious and medical requests including halal and kosher sets. The full range of IATA special meal codes is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, keeping inflight catering here traceable meal by meal rather than batch by batch.

Flight catering airside delivery at Wevelgem airport
Wevelgem's single 1900 m runway keeps a narrow-body reference code, which means the traffic mix here runs scheduled, charter and government movements through one working pattern rather than the layered scheduling a larger hub needs. That mix turns airline catering at Wevelgem into a documentation exercise as much as a kitchen one: a delegation calls for protocol paperwork, a repeat rotation calls for the same tray set held to the same specification each time it lands.
The uplift itself moves from our kitchen to the stand under ground handling on the apron, with airside delivery run to the stand under one continuous watch rather than handed off partway. Aviation catering in Wevelgem is staged this way for every movement, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and airport catering at KJK are run off one ops desk rather than split across separate points of contact.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator named to the rotation, sealed carts through to the aircraft, and a signed handover that closes the load.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at EBKT / KJK
01
Government and state flight catering at KJK
A narrow-body reference code keeps delegation traffic at Wevelgem working through a single stand rather than a scattered apron, which is what makes protocol control possible here. Government flight catering for state visits and official movements is documented per passenger by security-cleared staff, with the uplift for a head of state aircraft sealed before it ever leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Wevelgem
Wevelgem holds a narrow-body reference code, which keeps a private airliner working the same single stand on every visit rather than a different position each time. That repetition is what lets royal flight catering here run to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP work with halal and household requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at EBKT
Our kitchen stages a full three-cabin uplift against the loading sheet whenever a charter tail works the narrow-body stand at Wevelgem, holding to the aircraft's aerodrome reference code rather than a generic charter package. Charter flight catering here covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, staged in the order the galleys are laid out for that specific charter flight catering rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at Wevelgem
The 1900 m runway at Wevelgem takes the business aviation traffic that works this field alongside scheduled and charter movements. Private jet catering at Wevelgem is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering held to that identical standard.

“We arranged football club charter catering for the group at Wevelgem (KJK/EBKT) after a late schedule update. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. A good partner for sports charter operations. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Kareem — Mission Operations Manager
“For an urgent mission at Wevelgem (KJK/EBKT), the team supported us with humanitarian flight catering. Communication with operations was efficient and the order was adapted quickly when our timings moved. Strong support for a demanding operation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Omar — Charter Account Manager
“We ordered cargo airline catering for a cargo rotation through Wevelgem (KJK/EBKT). The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. We would use them again for another cargo sector. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at KJK
Crew meals, lead times and access at KJK
What operations gets asked every week about Wevelgem.
Ask operations directly →For households and delegations flying through Wevelgem, are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced and documented?
There is a dedicated line for halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes, each one produced separately and documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
Whose hi-loader boards the aircraft when airline catering is delivered at Wevelgem?
On every wide-body-capable movement here, our own hi-loader carries the airside delivery from the kitchen to the galley door, not a handoff at the foot of the aircraft.
KJK — do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The same hi-loader and sealed cart that serve a scheduled uplift also carry FBO catering to the GA terminal, on the identical cold chain and paperwork.
Do you take late changes to an order placed for EBKT?
Yes, by holding the specification open until the loading window closes, though how far in advance the initial order is placed still sets the working baseline; last minute airline catering is handled case by case against the loading sheet.
