Aviation catering — Aarhus, Denmark
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Aarhus (EKAH / AAR)
AAR (IATA) · EKAH (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code at Aarhus sets what one stand can take at a time, so a rotation is planned to a fixed sequence rather than a queue. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at EKAH for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, boarding by hi-loader to galley height so the uplift never waits at the foot of the aircraft.

Airport catering order window at Aarhus
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Aarhus, Denmark
Between the sealed cart leaving our kitchen and the galley door closing at Aarhus, the route is fixed rather than improvised on the day. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy crosses the apron on a path agreed with the field rather than one negotiated at the gate. That single lane from kitchen to stand is what a catering uplift at EKAH is actually measured against.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Aarhus, the convoy is the part of the rotation most exposed to delay: screening, an escort across the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working airfield. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that, not the average of it, and hold a fixed sequence rather than a best-effort one. Chain of custody runs from the seal placed on the cart to the signature taken at the galley, with the temperature logged at both ends. That written galley catering record is what a handling agent asks for first if a rotation runs late.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature — from kitchen door to galley door.
Crew meals from the flight kitchen serving Aarhus
Airline food supplier crews cleared for EKAH / AAR
The flight kitchen behind Aarhus runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, with HACCP governing every stage before a cart leaves the building. Airport catering at EKAH is planned from that single site rather than split across contractors, which keeps the cold chain unbroken from the larder to the cart seal. That structure is what airport catering in Denmark depends on when a rotation at Aarhus changes at short notice.
The team behind government flight catering at Aarhus is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, each is on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and each is trained to the household standards a protocol file demands. That continuity is what catering at EKAH relies on when the paperwork travelling with a sealed uplift has to match, movement after movement.
Halal airline meals and special meals at EKAH
VVIP catering to a written specification at Aarhus
Menus at Aarhus are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, drawing where possible on produce sourced from the surrounding Danish region: dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into a plan that can be a First-cabin service one day and a main-cabin tray run the next. Inflight catering here follows the season as much as the route, adjusting a specification without disturbing the standard behind it. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is produced, not assembled on the day. That paperwork travels sealed with the tray, so a crew can match a passenger to a meal without opening a box to check it.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Aarhus are plated to a written specification rather than to memory, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeatable, so the same service can be produced again on the next rotation without redrafting it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at EKAH run a multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed and loaded in tray sets rather than plated by hand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in their own boxed sets against the roster, kept separate from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at AAR are documented per passenger before production starts, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, keeping the paperwork and the tray matched from kitchen to galley.

Flight catering airside delivery at Aarhus (AAR)
Aarhus takes scheduled, charter and government movements against a wide-body reference code, and that mix turns catering into three separate problems rather than one: a delegation is a documentation exercise, a peak wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition exercise that has to produce the same result each time.
The uplift leaves our kitchen sealed and travels by hi-loader to the stand, boarding directly to galley height rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering at EKAH runs this way on every stand the field assigns, with the ramp crew working to the same loading sheet the kitchen signs off.
What we commit to at Aarhus is a single named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover at the galley door: in-flight catering in Aarhus and aviation catering at AAR both run off that one desk, and airport catering across the wider region is planned against it stand by stand.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at EKAH / AAR
01
Government and state flight catering at AAR
Our kitchen works the 2777 m runway at Aarhus into its planning for any movement that needs full-length capability, which is the case for most head of state aircraft. Government flight catering here documents the protocol file per passenger, assigns security-cleared staff to the rotation, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen for Aarhus.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Aarhus
A 2777 m runway at Aarhus takes the private airliners this segment flies, BBJ and ACJ types among them, without restricting the movement to a shorter slot. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between visits, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against it on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at EKAH
A wide-body movement can be boarded at Aarhus because the field carries a wide-body reference code, and that is what an ACMI or wet-lease operator plans a rotation against. Charter flight catering at EKAH covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet before charter flight catering at AAR closes the stand.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at AAR
The 2777 m runway at Aarhus sets what can operate here, and that in turn sets what an outstation carrier can plan against on a diversion. Ad hoc airline catering covers outstation catering for carriers that route through EKAH as a base, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, with AOG handled inside a multi-leg rotation rather than as an exception.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Aarhus
On the same wide-body reference code that governs the main ramp at Aarhus, business aviation is worked from its own stands rather than sharing the widebody sequence. Private jet catering at Aarhus reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, through our dedicated business aviation branch, covering business aviation catering and business jet catering as FBO catering.

“We needed an airline ops catering supplier at Aarhus (AAR/EKAH) and the support was excellent. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. It made the station much easier to manage. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Thomas — Flight Operations Supervisor
“We booked VIP flight catering in Aarhus for a flight operating through AAR/EKAH. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. I would use them again for another flight from Aarhus. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Manuel — FBO Services Manager
“I requested kosher airline meals for passengers departing Aarhus (AAR/EKAH) and the labeling was excellent. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. We were happy with the accuracy of the order. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at EKAH
Pilot meals and loading questions at EKAH
What operations gets asked every week about Aarhus.
Ask operations directly →What does airside delivery of airline catering look like at Aarhus?
We load the sealed uplift by hi-loader straight to galley height on the stand, so airline catering reaches the aircraft without a handover at ground level.
Which factors decide what airline catering costs at AAR?
The loader run, the cart count and the loading window set the price: cabin count, specification and rotation timing all move the airline catering cost, and the desk returns a quotation once those are known.
Are halal, kosher and SPML sets produced and documented at EKAH?
Our coordinator logs every halal, kosher and special meal request against the passenger list before production starts, and the special meal codes travel sealed on their own tray set.
Does the lead time for an order change close to departure for flights through Aarhus?
Each rotation carries its own lead time, and a specification can still change later than most desks expect, right up to a cut-off agreed with the kitchen for that flight.
