Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Cahors (ZAO)
Ramp access, not the kitchen, sets the pace of a catering uplift at Cahors: what limits the schedule is the apron slot, the escort and the walk to the stand. Every cart is sealed before it leaves our kitchen and logged again at the galley door, so the window is a record, not an estimate. That record is what lets an ops desk plan a rotation through LFCC around a fixed, repeatable window rather than a guess.
Between our kitchen and the aircraft at Cahors, the convoy carries more risk than the food does: screening, an escort through the ramp, and apron traffic that a schedule cannot fully predict. We plan the galley catering run against the worst of that traffic rather than the average of it, so the catering uplift still lands inside its window on a busy rotation. Chain of custody is held by one named team from seal to signature, with temperature logged at both ends of the LFCC apron leg.
One seal, one route, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Cahors (ZAO) departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Cahors, France
The flight kitchen that provisions Cahors runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, holding the cold chain from sealing to handover under HACCP procedure throughout. That single-roof arrangement is what airport catering at LFCC depends on for a narrow-body reference code: no transfer between separate sites before the load reaches the ramp. It is also what lets airport catering in Cahors turn a late change in specification without breaking the loading window.
The team that handles government flight catering at Cahors is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to royal household standards for any sealed uplift that requires them. That continuity, not a rotating roster, is what a protocol officer checks before clearing a delegation movement. It carries through to catering at LFCC on ordinary rotations as well, since the same clearance and the same paperwork travel with every cart.
VIP flight catering menus for ZAO departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LFCC / ZAO
A single narrow-body reference code at Cahors still carries a full cabin menu range, written to the mission rather than to the runway. Local sourcing draws on the produce of the surrounding region — dairy, orchard fruit, river fish — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish. Inflight catering in France runs on seasonal rotation across the year, so a menu cycle updates without changing the tray standard it is built on. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed for boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at ZAO are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service on request for movements that call for it. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation gets the same presentation without re-briefing the galley.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Cahors run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals at Cahors are boxed to the roster, alongside tray sets built for the same rotation.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at ZAO are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets including halal and kosher, produced on a separate line before sealing. The full range of IATA special meal codes sits inside that same inflight catering specification, so a mixed cabin boards without a mismatched tray.

Flight catering airside delivery at Cahors airport
Cahors carries scheduled, charter and government movements across a single narrow-body reference code, which makes documentation the constant concern rather than peak-wave capacity: a delegation or a protocol movement needs its paperwork right before it needs volume. That profile shapes how airline catering at LFCC is planned, stand by stand, ahead of the rotation rather than against it.
The uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the stand, sealed before departure and escorted on the ramp, with airport catering at Cahors delivered airside by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Aviation catering at ZAO and inflight catering at LFCC run off one ops desk, so a change to a rotation reaches the loading crew without a second call.
One coordinator holds the rotation from seal to signature, and in-flight catering in Cahors closes on a signed handover at the stand, whatever the mission on the schedule that day.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at LFCC
01
Government and state flight catering at LFCC
At Cahors, a single narrow-body stand is what a delegation movement is planned against first, before the cabin count. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official movements for a head of state aircraft, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at ZAO
A narrow-body reference code sets what has to be sequenced around a household movement here, since the stand and the ramp routing are fixed before the cabin brief is. Royal flight catering at Cahors is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering private airliners — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP — with halal and other household requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Cahors
1500 metres of runway, and a group charter or an ACMI leg still boards a full three-cabin uplift on the wide-body stand available here. Charter flight catering in Cahors for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out, with charter flight catering at LFCC repeatable rotation to rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at LFCC
A narrow-body reference code at Cahors is what most of this traffic boards on, and it is worked as an outstation leg for carriers that route through here on a fixed cycle. Ad hoc airline catering at Cahors covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals in France boarded on the same cart as the cabin.

Private jet and FBO catering at ZAO
Our kitchen works the same 1500 m field that business aviation uses at Cahors, running private jet catering in France to the same cold chain as an airline uplift. Delivery reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering handled on the same paperwork and the same sealed cart as a scheduled rotation.

“I asked for airline catering IATA standards at Cahors (ZAO/LFCC) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Good attention to the operational side of catering. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Kenji — Airport Services Coordinator
“We used the team for ad hoc catering at Cahors (ZAO/LFCC) during a tight turnaround. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

James — Ramp Operations Manager
“I ordered private jet catering for our departure from Cahors (ZAO/LFCC) and was very happy with the service. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. A very good experience from a flight attendant perspective. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Aircraft catering questions at Cahors, France
Diversion catering and ramp questions at ZAO
What operations gets asked every week about Cahors.
Ask operations directly →Does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at Cahors, and how is it boarded?
Every uplift at Cahors is delivered airside by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, on a sealed cart escorted from the kitchen to the stand.
How far in advance does an order have to be placed at Cahors Airport, and how late can the specification change?
There is a standard lead time for a full cabin brief, and a shorter window still holds for a late change to the tray count or a special meal set; last minute airline catering is worked against whatever window remains before the loading window closes.
At what point in the process is a VIP, VVIP or government flight handled under protocol at ZAO?
The protocol file is opened before the cabin brief is written, so VIP flight catering and government flight catering are cleared and sealed ahead of the loading window rather than fitted into it afterwards.
How far does private jet catering reach on the field at LFCC?
Clearance for airside movement is what sets the reach: private jet catering is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering following the same seal and log.
Cahors is asked for halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes on how many rotations, and how are they documented?
The sealed cart that leaves our kitchen carries the documentation with it, so halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are logged per passenger and matched to the cabin before boarding.
Who sets the cost of airline catering at Cahors Airport?
For every quotation, cost is set by cabin count, specification and the loading window required, since no price list is published; the desk returns a figure once those three are known.
