Aviation catering — Burgas, Bulgaria
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Burgas (LBBG / BOJ)
BOJ (IATA) · LBBG (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code assigned to Burgas governs what boards on this ramp: multi-class wide-body aircraft, loaded stand-side rather than staged at the foot of the gangway. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering here as hi-loader boarding to galley height, with uplift moved airside from kitchen to aircraft and inflight catering in Bulgaria and in-flight catering at BOJ handled off one ops desk, around the clock.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at BOJ
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at LBBG / BOJ
Ramp access is the variable this window is built around, not an afterthought: the catering uplift moves from our kitchen seal to the aircraft door under one escorted route across the apron. Every convoy at this station carries a temperature log opened at departure and closed at handover, so the record travels with the load rather than behind it. Screening and apron traffic are worked into the route before the cart ever leaves the kitchen, not around it after the fact.

Between our kitchen and the stand at this station sit screening, an escort and apron traffic that shifts by the hour, none of it left to be discovered on the day. We plan the catering uplift against the busiest version of that route, not the easiest, so a delay upstream never becomes a delay at the galley door. Temperatures are logged when the load is sealed and again at handover, and the galley catering is signed for by name at both ends, closing the chain of custody the moment the last cart clears the door.
One seal, one route, one signature: the load is accountable from kitchen to galley.
Airline catering companies' production standard at LBBG

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Burgas
The flight kitchen behind BOJ is built around the wide-body reference code this field holds, which means hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line run under one roof rather than split across sites. Airport catering at Burgas moves from that single production floor straight to the apron, with airport catering at BOJ following the same HACCP-run standard on every rotation. The same flight kitchen at BOJ handles scheduled, charter and government work without switching production lines between them.
Government flight catering at this kitchen is worked by the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Every member holds a security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a delegation is confirmed, trained to the household standards a protocol officer expects and to the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what lets the chain of custody hold across repeat movements at catering at LBBG.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Burgas airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at BOJ
AERO GOURMET writes inflight catering in Burgas to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed cycle, drawing on the region's produce where the route allows it. Dairy, orchard fruit and Black Sea fish enter the specification as ingredient categories, adjusted rotation to rotation rather than fixed to one seasonal menu. Passenger meal boxes, VIP flight menus and full VVIP specifications are all produced from the same kitchen, sized to the cabin they are boarding. Every set closes on documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Burgas are plated to a written specification held on file, with caviar and à-la-carte VIP flight catering available on request rather than fixed to one set menu. Presentation is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation loads to the same result at BOJ.

Business cabins
Business cabins at LBBG run multi-choice hot service to a cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's galley. Crew meals and cabin crew meals travel in the same tray sets, with pilot meals boxed separately to the roster for crew meals at Burgas.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Burgas are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets on a line kept apart from the main production. Halal and kosher meals, plus the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced there and sealed before departure, giving inflight catering at BOJ one documented record per passenger.

Flight catering airside delivery at Burgas, Bulgaria
Burgas takes scheduled, charter and government movements onto a field built to a wide-body reference code, which means a state delegation and a chartered wide-body can be worked from the same apron without changing method between them. That mix turns catering into a documentation exercise for one flight and a capacity exercise for the next, so the desk plans by movement type rather than by a single fixed pattern. The uplift travels from our flight kitchen to the wide-body stands under airside delivery, escorted across the apron rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with ramp access held on our own badges throughout. Airline catering, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering in Burgas all run off that one route and one ops desk, and airport catering in Bulgaria at this field is planned stand by stand rather than as a single blanket service. Airline catering at LBBG commits to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts and a signed handover, regardless of whether the movement is a scheduled service or a one-off charter.

“For a government operation through Burgas (BOJ/LBBG), we required discreet state visit aircraft catering. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. We were very satisfied with the level of coordination. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at Burgas airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Burgas airport
What operations gets asked every week about Burgas.
Ask operations directly →Do you produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at Burgas airport?
Yes, halal, kosher and the full set of SPML special meals are produced on a separate line at our kitchen and documented per passenger before they are sealed for boarding.
BOJ - do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights here, and under what protocol?
The sealed cart carrying the uplift is logged against a protocol file for VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike, with security-cleared staff handling the load from kitchen to stand.
Given the ramp routing at Burgas, LBBG - do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
There is a standing route from our kitchen to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal, with private jet catering and FBO catering run on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Can Burgas accept a late change to an order, and how far in advance should it be placed first?
A specification can usually be adjusted close to departure, but the lead time is longest for VIP and government work; last minute airline catering is handled case by case once the desk has the loading window.
