Aviation catering — Colmar, France
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Colmar (LFGA / CMR)
CMR (IATA) · LFGA (ICAO)
A single runway of 1,610 metres sets the frame at Colmar: everything boarded here is planned around a narrow-body reference code, so the uplift is worked in sequence rather than in parallel. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering move through one ops desk, hi-loader carts staged to galley height for scheduled, charter, VIP and government departures alike.

Catering uplift timing at LFGA
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Colmar
Sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the ramp, handed over at the galley door: the loading window at Colmar is worked as one continuous chain rather than a delivery followed by a wait. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the cart moves onto the apron without a second checkpoint slowing the sequence at CMR. What the timeline below shows is that chain in the order it actually runs, not an estimate rounded up for the brochure.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Colmar sit screening, an escort across the apron, and whatever traffic is working the ramp that hour; we plan the catering uplift against the busiest version of that sequence, not the easiest one. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the galley, with nothing handed off in between. Temperature is logged twice, once at sealing and once at handover, so the galley catering that reaches LFGA carries a record as well as a load.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing handed off between them.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Colmar airport departures
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at CMR
Airport catering at Colmar runs from one production kitchen rather than a network of outstations, so hot production, pastry, a cold larder and the protocol line sit under a single roof and a single HACCP standard. That matters more on a field with one runway and a narrow-body reference code: airport catering at LFGA cannot lean on a second stand to absorb a delay, so the flight kitchen at CMR is built to hold its own schedule against the ramp's. Every cart that leaves it is built to the same specification, whatever cabin it is bound for.
The team that handles government flight catering at Colmar is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the occasion. Security clearance is held on file, each person sits on a fixed access list, and household service standards are trained rather than improvised on the day. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking for at CMR, and it is carried on our own badges rather than borrowed from the ramp for the afternoon.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Colmar (CMR)
VVIP catering to a written specification at LFGA
Menus here are written to the cabin and the mission first, the season second: a scheduled rotation, a state visit and a group charter do not read from the same specification even when the aircraft is the same. Regional produce from Alsace enters the plan where the mission allows it, dairy, orchard fruit and river fish worked into the frame rather than named as a dish. Inflight catering built this way still closes on the paperwork: allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, not left to a verbal note passed at the door. That discipline is what lets a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu run off the same kitchen without either one slipping.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Colmar are plated to a written specification rather than improvised on the day, with à-la-carte service and household requirements taken on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so a repeat rotation reads exactly as the one before it.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CMR run on multi-choice hot service, built in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so tray sets board in the sequence the cabin crew actually work them.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LFGA are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full run of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so it never shares a cart with the general uplift.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at LFGA / CMR
A single runway and a narrow-body reference code mean Colmar is worked as a sequenced field rather than a field of parallel stands: a delegation here is a documentation problem before it is a capacity one, and a peak departure wave is managed by timing rather than by spreading load across stands that do not exist. Airline catering at LFGA is planned against that constraint from the first booking, not adjusted for it after the fact.
The uplift route from the kitchen to the aircraft runs across the apron under our own escort, hi-loader carts staged to galley height rather than left at the foot of the steps. In-flight catering at Colmar and aviation catering at CMR share that one route and that one ops desk, so a change on one rotation is visible to the next before it becomes a problem. Airport catering at LFGA is held on the same ramp access for every mission that passes through it.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen door, and a signed handover at the aircraft: inflight catering at CMR closes on that signature, every time.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at CMR
01
Government and state flight catering at LFGA
Our kitchen holds a runway of 1,610 metres in its planning as the fixed constraint behind every wide-body-scale rotation booked at Colmar, government or otherwise. Delegations and state visits move through a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff, and an uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, with head of state movements worked to that same standing file rather than a one-off arrangement.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at CMR
A 1,610 metre runway is the fact our planning starts from at Colmar, and it holds the same weight whether the aircraft on it is a scheduled service or a private airliner on royal work. VVIP and royal flight catering here covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements, held to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other dietary requirements produced against it on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Colmar
A wide-body airliner on charter or ACMI work still boards at Colmar against the narrow-body reference code held on the field, which is the fact that decides how the rotation is sequenced rather than run in parallel. Charter flight catering here covers wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out; charter flight catering stays on that one specification through every leg.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LFGA
A runway of 1,610 metres sets a narrow-body reference code at Colmar, and that in turn sets which carriers run this station as a scheduled outstation versus which arrive unplanned. Ad hoc airline catering covers those unplanned calls; outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation without a change of tray standard.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at CMR
On the same field that holds a narrow-body reference code for the wide-body side of the operation, business aviation is worked to its own sequence rather than an afterthought fitted around it. Private jet catering at Colmar reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We needed head of state aircraft catering at Colmar (CMR/LFGA) for a protocol-sensitive flight. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. A professional service for movements where discretion matters. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Helena — Charter Flight Coordinator
“We had a larger VIP aircraft at Colmar (CMR/LFGA) and booked wide body VIP aircraft catering for the sector. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Colmar (CMR)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Colmar (CMR)
What operations gets asked every week about Colmar.
Ask operations directly →CMR — how much does airline catering cost at this station?
The hi-loader cart carries the load, and the invoice follows the specification it was packed to: cabin count, menu complexity and the loading window all move the airline catering cost, so every quotation is built against the actual rotation rather than a published rate card.
Can LFGA produce halal, kosher and the standard IATA special meal codes?
A separate production line at our kitchen runs halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of SPML codes, each one documented per passenger and sealed before it joins the general uplift.
Colmar — how far in advance does an order need to be placed?
Colmar operates on a lead time built around a single runway and one sequenced ramp, so standard rotations are best booked with as much notice as the schedule allows, while last minute airline catering is still worked through the same duty desk for genuine ad hoc and diversion cases.
How far does airline catering reach onto the ramp at Colmar Airport?
Our own airside clearance is what makes the answer straightforward: airline catering is delivered by hi-loader to galley height, boarded directly rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs at CMR?
Yes, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, private jet catering and FBO catering reach every FBO on the field and the GA terminal without a separate process.
What protocol applies to VIP, VVIP and government flights at LFGA?
There is a standing security clearance and a sealed handover that apply to every such rotation: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run under that same protocol, with household and diplomatic requirements documented per passenger rather than agreed verbally on the day.
