Aviation catering — Cognac/Châteaubernard, France
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Cognac/Châteaubernard (LFBG / CNG)
CNG (IATA) · LFBG (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code governs the stand at Cognac/Châteaubernard, which keeps inflight catering here planned to one aircraft class rather than spread across a mixed apron. In-flight catering moves by hi-loader to galley height from a kitchen holding the uplift ready, with wide-body volume discipline applied to a tighter rotation and inflight catering staged for departure on the ramp itself.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at LFBG / CNG
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at LFBG / CNG
The single runway at Cognac/Châteaubernard sets one approach sequence, and the catering uplift is built to sit inside it rather than around it. Ramp access is granted to our own crews on our own badges, so the cart moves from kitchen to apron without a handover to a third party. The window is held the same way on every rotation through Cognac/Châteaubernard, whatever the mission on the tail.
The convoy is the risk on this ramp, not the food: apron traffic and the checkpoint between our kitchen and the single stand are what a loading plan actually manages at Cognac/Châteaubernard. We build the route against the worst of those, not the average, and we hold a chain of custody from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the aircraft. Temperature is logged twice, once when the galley catering is sealed and once at handover on the stand, and the second entry closes the record rather than opening a new one.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.
Pilot meals prepared for LFBG / CNG rotations
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Cognac/Châteaubernard (CNG)
The flight kitchen behind Cognac/Châteaubernard runs hot production, pastry and a cold larder under one roof, built to feed a single narrow-body stand without the queuing a larger pier would need. Airport catering here follows a HACCP-run line from intake to sealed cart, and that same discipline is what airport catering at Cognac/Châteaubernard is checked against on every audit. The kitchen holds its own cold chain rather than relying on a shared store, which keeps the route to the apron short and accountable.
The crew cleared for government flight catering at Cognac/Châteaubernard is the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from the wider roster. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the stand, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels sealed with a VIP or state load. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks before anything else, and it is set once here rather than re-verified flight by flight.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Cognac/Châteaubernard
VVIP catering to a written specification at LFBG / CNG
Menus at Cognac/Châteaubernard are written to the cabin fitted and the mission flown, not to a fixed seasonal card, and the kitchen adjusts the plate count to whichever configuration the tail carries that day. Local sourcing draws on the produce of the wider region, dairy, orchard fruit and fish worked into the specification rather than named as a signature dish. Inflight catering at Cognac/Châteaubernard is documented against allergen, halal, kosher and medical codes at the point of loading, one set per passenger. That record travels with the cart, not as a separate sheet added later.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP work through Cognac/Châteaubernard on a written specification rather than a standard tray, with plated service and à-la-carte options built against the standing order for the tail. VIP flight catering here is filed and repeated exactly, movement to movement, so the household or the desk that ordered it once does not have to describe it twice.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LFBG take multi-choice hot service boxed to the galley the aircraft actually carries, oven-ready and staged in loading order. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals and the flight-deck set clear the galley door without being mixed into the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Special meal codes, halal and kosher sets and household or medical requirements are produced on a line kept apart from the main run at Cognac/Châteaubernard, each one labelled per passenger before it reaches the cart. Inflight catering documentation travels sealed with the tray it belongs to, so the code on the label and the meal on the load always match.

Catering uplift planned stand by stand at LFBG
Cognac/Châteaubernard runs a narrow-body traffic profile off a single runway, which turns most rotations here into a documentation exercise rather than a volume one: one stand, one loading sheet, one crew accountable for it. That profile decides how we plan a delegation movement or a charter departure long before the cart leaves the kitchen.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, raised to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp from seal to handover. Airline catering in Cognac/Châteaubernard and in-flight catering at CNG both run off that same route, and aviation catering in Cognac/Châteaubernard is planned against the single stand rather than against a pier of gates. Airport catering at CNG is booked to the runway's one approach sequence, not around it.
One coordinator holds the file for the whole rotation, the carts are sealed at the kitchen door, and the handover on the stand is signed before the load is called complete.

Airline and ad hoc catering at CNG
We work the single narrow-body stand at Cognac/Châteaubernard as an outstation for carriers that route through it only occasionally, which is where ad hoc airline catering earns its name. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals in Cognac/Châteaubernard boxed to the roster and crew meals at LFBG cleared through the same kitchen that handles outstation catering at LFBG.

Private jet and FBO catering at Cognac/Châteaubernard

Private jet catering at Cognac/Châteaubernard reaches the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, delivered on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

What operations gets asked every week about Cognac/Châteaubernard.
Ask operations directly →When must an order be placed for Cognac/Châteaubernard, and how late can the specification still change?
When the rotation is confirmed we ask for the cabin count and mission first; how far in advance depends on cabin complexity, but this is not the place for last minute airline catering decisions to be assumed as standard, so earlier is always safer.
How do you handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at CNG?
CNG sits on a single narrow-body stand, and VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under a documented protocol file, security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift, whatever the size of the movement.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at LFBG?
Yes, by our own crew moving the sealed cart from kitchen to hi-loader and up to galley height, so airline catering and airside delivery are one continuous route rather than a stand-side handover.
What does private jet catering look like at Cognac/Châteaubernard?
We deliver directly to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, with FBO catering run on the same cold chain and documentation as a scheduled airline uplift.
