Aviation catering — Thisted, Denmark
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Thisted (EKTS / TED)
TED (IATA) · EKTS (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the loading plan our crews work to at this station, so every hi-loader run and every galley door is planned to that airframe rather than a wider one. From that single figure we build the inflight catering programme delivered here: in-flight catering staged airside, sealed at our kitchen and boarded to galley height without a stop at the foot of the aircraft.

Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at EKTS
What happens between our kitchen and this aircraft is measured, not promised. Ramp access is the step that decides the uplift here: a hi-loader is cleared to the apron before the cart ever leaves the kitchen door, and the carts move on a fixed sequence rather than on convenience. Every catering uplift at this station is timed from that ramp clearance to the moment the galley door closes.
Between the kitchen and the aircraft at this station sit airside screening, an escort onto the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst case each of those can throw at a rotation, not the average one. Chain of custody runs on a sealed cart, a temperature log opened when it leaves the kitchen and closed again at the galley, and a driver cleared for that route and no other. Galley catering only leaves the seal once the receiving crew has signed for it, so the paperwork closes at the same second the cart does.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley door.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for Thisted (TED)
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Thisted airport
Airport catering for this narrow-body station runs from a production kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line kept under one roof, so nothing crosses a public corridor between the oven and the sealed cart. That single-site build is what keeps airport catering at Thisted consistent rotation to rotation, whatever the mix of scheduled, charter and government traffic on a given day. The flight kitchen runs to HACCP procedure at every stage, with the cold chain logged from production through to the cart that leaves for the ramp.
The staff who move a sealed load at this station are the same named team every rotation, carrying a security clearance on file and a place on the access list rather than a rota filled from whoever is free. Government flight catering here is handled by that fixed crew, trained to the paperwork a protocol movement carries as much as to the loading itself. Nothing about who touches the cart changes between one government rotation and the next.
Halal airline meals and special meals at EKTS / TED
VVIP catering written per mission at Thisted (TED)
Every menu produced for this narrow-body station is written to the cabin it boards and the mission it flies, not to a single fixed cycle repeated regardless of who is on the aircraft. Inflight catering here draws on the produce of the surrounding Danish region — dairy, cured fish, orchard fruit in season — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list, so a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu can both be built from the same larder without either reading as a compromise. Seasonal changes are logged against the standing specification, not improvised at short notice. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and produced against that record rather than against memory.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Thisted are plated to a written specification kept on file between rotations, with VIP flight catering covering à-la-carte and caviar service on request rather than a fixed set menu. Every plate is checked against that specification before it leaves the sealed line, not against the loader's judgement on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at TED run on multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley actually fitted to the airframe, boarded in tray sets rather than loose trolleys. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so cabin crew meals and pilot meals never share a cart with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Thisted are documented per passenger before production starts, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes rather than a shortened list. Each set is produced on its own line and sealed before it leaves that line, so inflight catering for a household or medical requirement never shares a tray with the standard cabin run.

Flight catering airside delivery at TED
A single narrow-body reference code shapes every rotation Thisted handles, so scheduled, charter and government movements are all planned against the same stand and galley geometry rather than a mix of airframe sizes. That consistency is what lets airline catering here run on one fixed loading plan instead of a different one for every arrival.
The route from our kitchen to the aircraft runs on airside delivery to the stand, with the hi-loader as the only point of contact between the cart and the galley door. In-flight catering in Thisted and aviation catering at Thisted both move on that same ramp path, cleared through the same checkpoint each time, with our own crew on the apron rather than a mixed handling team.
Airport catering in Thisted is committed to one coordinator per rotation, a sealed cart at every stage, and a signed handover at the galley door, so inflight catering in Denmark carries the same accountable trail whichever segment is flying that day.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at EKTS
01
Government and state flight catering at EKTS
A narrow-body reference code keeps the loading plan identical across every movement this station takes, which is the fixed point a head of state aircraft rotation is planned against here. Government flight catering at Thisted covers state visits and official delegations with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at TED
At this narrow-body reference station, the 1,600-metre runway is what a private airliner movement is planned against before any menu decision is made. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat rotations from a written specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Thisted
A 1,600-metre runway sets the load-out margin every charter rotation here is planned around, which decides how a full three-cabin uplift is staged before wheels-up rather than after. Charter flight catering at EKTS serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, and charter flight catering in Denmark runs to that same sequence.

Airline and ad hoc catering at EKTS
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand at this station, and it is what lets a carrier running Thisted as an outstation plan an ad hoc airline catering uplift on the same loading geometry as its scheduled rotation. Outstation catering, diversion catering, technical stop catering and AOG support all run off the one duty roster here, across a multi-leg pattern without a change of tray standard.

Private jet and FBO catering at TED
The 1,600-metre runway here, short enough to keep this station's business aviation traffic on light and midsize types, is what our dedicated private-jet branch plans its FBO catering runs against. Private jet catering in Denmark from this branch reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our flight at Thisted (TED/EKTS) required airline meal boxes with clear service-by-service organization. Presentation stayed good while the setup remained practical for a fast aircraft turnaround. Good attention to the operational side of catering. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Michael — Private Jet Operations Manager
“We had an outstation requirement at Thisted (TED/EKTS) and the coordination was very smooth. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Jade — Flight Planning Manager
“I ordered private jet menu for our departure from Thisted (TED/EKTS) and was very happy with the service. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at EKTS / TED
Diversion catering and ramp questions at EKTS / TED
What operations gets asked every week about Thisted.
Ask operations directly →Who cleared to handle VIP, VVIP and government flights at Thisted?
For every royal, VVIP and government flight catering movement here, the load is worked by a named, security-cleared crew under a documented protocol file, never by whoever is on shift that day.
At which point does private jet catering reach the FBOs at TED?
At handover from our sealed cart to the ramp handler, private jet catering and FBO catering are delivered to the GA terminal and every FBO on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Does airline catering have a published price at EKTS?
Every quotation for airline catering cost here depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window booked, so the desk comes back with a figure rather than a fixed list price.
Thisted, how far in advance must an order be placed?
The sealed cart that carries the uplift is built against a lead time set at booking, and how far in advance that needs to happen depends on the rotation, though last minute airline catering can still be worked into an open loading window.
How far in advance are halal, kosher and SPML sets confirmed at Thisted?
Against the HACCP standard our kitchen runs to, halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes are documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before sealing.
Is airline catering delivered airside at TED?
The loading coordinator on shift is who takes the cart from our kitchen to the hi-loader, so airline catering here moves by airside delivery straight to the galley door, never left at the foot of the aircraft.
