Aviation catering — Chassieu, France
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Chassieu (LFLY / LYN)
LYN (IATA) · LFLY (ICAO)
A single-runway field rated to a narrow-body reference code, Chassieu takes the aircraft its stand geometry was built for, and our kitchen serves every one of them through hi-loader boarding straight to galley height. Inflight catering here runs on one ops desk airside, with in-flight catering staged for scheduled, charter, VIP and government uplift alike.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Chassieu (LYN)
Airport catering, one seal from kitchen to cabin at LFLY
Round the clock, our loading window at Chassieu runs from sealed cart to galley door on a fixed sequence rather than a guess. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the crew that seals the cart at the kitchen is the crew that clears the apron and boards the aircraft. Every catering uplift at LFLY is logged against that same sequence, whatever the cabin mix or the mission.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Chassieu sit screening, an escort convoy and apron traffic, and we plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the average. Chain of custody starts at the seal and does not break until the galley door closes: one coordinator, one cart, one signature. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, so the galley catering that leaves our kitchen is the same load, at the same reading, that boards the aircraft.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing loose between them.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Chassieu airport
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Chassieu airport
Airport catering at Chassieu runs from one flight kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, built to HACCP standards from intake to seal. That layout is what makes airport catering here consistent across a scheduled rotation and a same-day charter alike, without treating either as the exception. Every tray set and passenger meal box produced for LYN carries the same cold chain from that kitchen to the stand.
The team behind government flight catering at Chassieu is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, access is limited to a fixed list, and household standards are trained rather than briefed on the morning. That same crew carries the chain of custody paperwork from the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at LFLY / LYN
VVIP catering written per mission at Chassieu (LYN)
Menus at Chassieu are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, drawing on regional dairy, orchard fruit and lake and river fish where the season allows it. Inflight catering in France still answers to one specification across every cabin, so a scheduled sector and a same-day charter are planned from the same standard rather than two different ones. Every set is built for what the galley on that airframe can actually run, hot or cold, plated or boxed. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, and travel with the load as paperwork, not as a verbal note.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LFLY are plated to a written specification rather than a set menu, 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 standard returns on the next rotation as it did on the last.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LYN run on multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted that day. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew each board their own set at the stand.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Chassieu are produced on a separate line and sealed before they leave it, covering halal, kosher and the full run of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering documentation travels with each box per passenger, so household, religious and medical requirements arrive matched to a name, not to a guess.

Flight catering airside delivery at LYN
Chassieu is rated to a narrow-body aerodrome reference code across its single runway, which sets the traffic this field actually works: scheduled and charter narrow-body rotations rather than heavy widebody waves, each one a repeat-pattern problem for planning rather than a peak-capacity one. That profile is what our loading plan is built against, stand by stand, before an aircraft is on chocks.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader, boarded directly to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the steps, with our own crew holding ramp access on badges cleared for this field. Airline catering and aviation catering at LYN run off that same method whatever the cabin configuration, and inflight catering in Chassieu is logged against one sequence from kitchen to stand.
On every rotation we commit one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so airline catering in France carried through this station is accountable to a name rather than a shift, and in-flight catering in France stays traceable end to end.
Charter flight catering and state missions at Chassieu airport
01
Government and state flight catering at LFLY
Working a single narrow-body-rated runway limits how many movements this field can stage at once, so a delegation aircraft is planned as its own slot rather than folded into general traffic. Government flight catering at Chassieu for state visits and official movements carries a head of state aircraft on the same protocol file, documented per passenger, with the uplift sealed at the kitchen at LYN before it leaves for the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at LYN
Narrow-body only, this reference code still permits a private airliner configured for royal or VVIP use, and that is what governs the loading plan at Chassieu. VVIP catering and royal flight catering for a private airliner, BBJ or ACJ format, run against a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Chassieu
Our kitchen builds every charter flight catering order at LFLY to a full three-cabin uplift, staged in the order the galleys are laid out rather than loaded in an arbitrary sequence. ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions each get the same specification, counted against the loading sheet before the load leaves the ramp, which is why charter flight catering at Chassieu repeats identically rotation to rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LFLY
Within the narrow-body reference code this field is rated to, ad hoc airline catering at Chassieu covers carriers running it as an outstation as readily as a scheduled tenant. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering in France sit on one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation without a separate booking path. Crew meals in Chassieu board with the same load, and ad hoc catering at LYN is planned to the same tray standard whatever the notice period.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LYN
The 1820 m runway at Chassieu takes the business jet types that make up most of this field's non-scheduled traffic, and our dedicated private-jet catering branch delivers to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal from that same kitchen. FBO catering here runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, so business aviation catering and business jet catering are never a lesser specification.

“We were looking for a dependable airline catering broker in Chassieu (LYN/LFLY) and the process was straightforward. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. We would use the service again without hesitation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at LFLY / LYN
Crew meals, lead times and access at LFLY / LYN
What operations gets asked every week about Chassieu.
Ask operations directly →Do you need advance notice for airline catering at Chassieu, and how late can the specification change?
Yes, we work to a lead time set at booking, and the desk confirms how far in advance your order needs to be placed for the mission type; last minute airline catering is still worked where the loading window allows it, with the specification held open as late as the kitchen can absorb the change.
At what point is airline catering cost confirmed for a rotation through LYN?
At quotation stage, once cabin count, specification and loading window are known, the desk prices the order; airline catering cost is never published as a flat rate because those three inputs vary by rotation.
How far does protocol extend for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at LFLY?
Security clearance on file for the assigned crew is the standard the whole load rests on, so VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under the same cleared-access protocol from kitchen to stand.
Chassieu — do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Yes, our hi-loader and ramp vehicles carry every uplift to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike, so private jet catering and FBO catering both leave the same kitchen on the same schedule.
Whose crew boards airline catering airside at Chassieu, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
For every stand worked here, our own cleared crew handles airside delivery from kitchen to galley door by hi-loader, never handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
What special meal coverage does LYN produce, and how is it documented?
There is a full run of halal, kosher and other special meals produced on a separate line, each one logged against the IATA SPML code and matched to a named passenger before it is sealed.
