Aviation catering — Vodochody, Czech Republic
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Vodochody (LKVO / VOD)
VOD (IATA) · LKVO (ICAO)
One wide-body reference code at Vodochody sets the working assumption for every rotation: full-width cabins, boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than left at the aircraft door. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering from that ramp position, with the uplift staged airside for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures alike.

Inflight catering with hi-loader boarding at LKVO
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Vodochody
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at LKVO / VOD
Ramp access is what the window at Vodochody is actually measured against, not a printed lead time. The apron sequence runs from the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the cart clearing the galley door, timed against the rotation rather than a generic slot. Every catering uplift here follows the same order, cart by cart, so the ramp crew and the flight deck are working from one plan.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Vodochody sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and none of it is left to chance on the day. We build the route against the busiest version of that sequence, not the easiest one, so a delayed convoy still lands inside the loading window agreed for the rotation.
Every catering uplift is logged twice: temperature and seal number recorded when the cart leaves galley catering production, and again at handover to the crew, closing the chain of custody with a signature at the aircraft.
One coordinator owns the seal from kitchen to signature, start to finish.
Crew meals and pilot meals for VOD departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for LKVO / VOD
Airport catering at Vodochody is provisioned from one production kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof. That layout means tray sets, passenger meal boxes and sealed carts for a VIP rotation all leave the same building on the same schedule, rather than being split across sites. The line runs to HACCP, so the cold chain is unbroken from output to handover, and airport catering booked here does not wait on a second facility to catch up.
The team that handles government flight catering at Vodochody is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled per booking. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the stand, and is trained to the household service standards that a royal or state movement expects. That consistency is what lets catering at VOD move from a routine schedule to a sealed uplift without changing hands.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at LKVO
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Vodochody
Menus at Vodochody are written to the cabin they board, not to a single house style: a First cabin gets a plated specification, Business gets a multi-choice hot service, and the main cabin gets a tray set built for a fast turnaround. Where local sourcing is available it is drawn from Czech Republic produce in general terms, dairy and orchard fruit worked into the seasonal rotation rather than a fixed list. Inflight catering here is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, labelled by cabin so the crew never has to guess at handover. That documentation travels with the cart, sealed, from the kitchen to the galley door.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Vodochody are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request. VIP flight catering here is checked against that specification cart by cart, not improvised at the stand.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LKVO run a multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted for the rotation. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew are never drawn from the same tray run.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Vodochody are documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before sealing: halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and household or medical requirements held against a written file. Inflight catering in Czech Republic follows that same separated production for every VIP and government rotation booked through LKVO.

Flight catering airside delivery at Vodochody (VOD)
Vodochody runs on a wide-body reference code, which sets a mixed profile of scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements rather than a single repeated pattern. A delegation on the stand is a documentation exercise as much as a loading one, and a charter wave through the same stand is a capacity question that has to be planned against the sealed cart count, not improvised on the day.
Airline catering at LKVO reaches the aircraft by hi-loader straight to the galley door, with our own crew on the ramp from kitchen exit to handover rather than a delivery left at the foot of the steps. Aviation catering at VOD and airport catering at VOD both run off that same route, cart by cart, logged at both ends. In-flight catering at LKVO and inflight catering at LKVO share one ops desk rather than separate booking lines, so a change to the cabin plan updates the whole rotation at once.
On every stand we commit to one named coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, the same standard whether the movement is scheduled, chartered or state.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at LKVO / VOD
01
Government and state flight catering at LKVO
The 2500 metre runway at Vodochody takes the wide-body movements a head of state aircraft typically flies, which is what makes government flight catering practical here rather than exceptional. Delegations and official visits get a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at VOD
A private airliner configured to BBJ or ACJ standard is one of the aircraft this station's runway and wide-body reference code are built to take, which is where royal flight catering starts rather than at the menu. Household requirements, including halal, are held to a written specification kept on file between movements, so a repeat rotation does not mean starting the brief again.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Vodochody
On the wide-body stand at Vodochody, the same reference code that clears a scheduled service also clears an ACMI or wet-lease aircraft on a group movement. Charter flight catering at Vodochody covers those operators and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering in Czech Republic is staged in the same galley order every time.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LKVO
A single wide-body reference code at Vodochody means our kitchen plans every rotation to full-cabin volume, whether the carrier flies here daily or once. Ad hoc airline catering and outstation catering in Vodochody sit alongside diversion catering, technical stop catering and AOG cover across a multi-leg schedule, with crew meals at VOD boxed to the same roster and crew meals at LKVO held to the same standard on every call.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at VOD
Sequencing around a single wide-body stand is the constraint business aviation traffic works within at Vodochody, since the same reference code governs GA movements as well as scheduled ones. Private jet catering at VOD reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, run by our dedicated business aviation branch rather than as an afterthought of the main kitchen.

Scheduled airline
“We used the team at Vodochody (VOD/LKVO) for contingency catering after an unexpected operational change. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. We would use them again for another short-notice stop. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Yara — Station Operations Supervisor
“Vodochody (VOD/LKVO) was an outstation for us, and we booked airline catering at small airports for the sector. The crew received exactly what was ordered, with clear labels and no last-minute chasing from operations. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Private jet operator
Lisa — Executive Charter Coordinator
“The operations team needed an airline catering cost per meal for Vodochody (VOD/LKVO) with very little time to decide. The quote was detailed enough for operations and accounting, but still quick to review. The clear communication made the booking easy. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at LKVO
Diversion catering and ramp questions at LKVO
What operations gets asked every week about Vodochody.
Ask operations directly →Which protocol applies to VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at VOD?
The loader and cart sequence stays the same for every cabin, but government flight catering and VIP flight catering add a documented protocol file, security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift signed off before it leaves the kitchen.
What does airline catering cost at LKVO?
We price against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than publishing a flat airline catering cost, so the desk comes back with a quotation once those three are confirmed.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft at Vodochody?
Vodochody uplift moves by airside delivery from our kitchen to the stand, then by hi-loader straight to galley height, so nothing is set down at the foot of the aircraft.
When can private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal at Vodochody Airport?
Once the movement is confirmed on the ramp schedule, FBO catering is delivered to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Where are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced for VOD departures?
The production record shows halal, kosher and SPML sets built on a separate line and logged per passenger, with the sheet travelling sealed to the aircraft.
Are there fixed lead times for changing a specification at LKVO?
The duty coordinator holds a standing lead time for new orders and a shorter cut-off for last minute airline catering changes, both confirmed at booking rather than fixed on a public page.
