Inflight catering with hi-loader boarding at Dijon, France
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
In-flight catering loading window at LFSD / DIJ
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Dijon (DIJ)
Ramp access at Dijon is what sets the loading window: the sealed cart clears the apron on our own schedule, not on a queue behind other traffic. Every catering uplift moves from kitchen to galley door in one measured pass, cold chain intact, before the hi-loader is called to the stand. The narrow-body reference code held here keeps that run short and repeatable, rotation after rotation.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Dijon sit screening, an escort and the ordinary traffic of a working apron, and we plan every catering uplift against the worst of that, not the average. The convoy is the part of the operation that carries the risk, not the galley catering itself, so it moves under chain of custody from the moment the cart is sealed. Temperatures are logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and the load is not closed until a signature meets it at the aircraft. Nothing leaves the kitchen without both records attached.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for LFSD / DIJ
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Dijon, France
The flight kitchen at DIJ runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, held to HACCP throughout and matched to the narrow-body reference code this station is built to serve. Airport catering here is planned around that same standard rather than around volume, since Dijon's traffic runs scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements more often than back-to-back wide-body waves. That keeps airport catering in France's Dijon consistent rotation to rotation, with the cold chain unbroken between the larder and the stand.
The team behind government flight catering at this kitchen is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from a general pool. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on a fixed access list, and they are trained to royal household standards as well as to our own. That consistency is what lets a protocol officer sign off the same names movement after movement, rather than vetting a new team each time.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at DIJ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LFSD / DIJ
Menus here are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, moving from a plated First and Business specification down to galley-ready main-cabin service on the same rotation. Burgundy's dairy, orchard fruit and regional produce inform the seasonal frame in general terms, without naming a single supplier or dish. Every inflight catering set at Dijon carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical information, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. Cycles change with the season; the specification and the tray standard behind them do not.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Dijon are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and course-by-course service available on request for VIP flight catering movements. The presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served the same way twice.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LFSD run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets, sized to the aircraft fitted at the stand. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew each receive what their duty pattern requires.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Dijon, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Every inflight catering order on a protocol or medical code is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at Dijon airport
Dijon's traffic runs scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements across a narrow-body reference code rather than continuous wide-body waves, so a delegation here is chiefly a documentation problem and a peak period is chiefly a scheduling one. Airline catering in Dijon is planned against that mix: paperwork and clearances staged ahead of the movement, capacity held in reserve for the periods traffic bunches rather than spread flat across the day.
Uplift travels a fixed route from our kitchen to the ramp, loaded to the stand and boarded by the crew assigned to that rotation; a ground handler is brought in only where the movement calls for one. Inflight catering at DIJ and aviation catering at Dijon both run off that same route, so the method does not change between a scheduled service and a one-off charter.
One coordinator carries the movement from sealed cart to signed handover, on every rotation this station sees.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at LFSD

Charter flight catering at DIJ covers ACMI and wet-lease operators alongside group movements, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order; charter flight catering in Dijon runs to that same sheet on every rotation.

Airline and ad hoc catering at DIJ
Dijon's narrow-body reference code sets the ramp this traffic works from, and our crews run scheduled and ad hoc airline catering off that same stand pattern rotation after rotation. Carriers using this field as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering from the one duty roster, AOG covered and crew meals boxed alongside, across a multi-leg day.

Private jet and FBO catering at Dijon
A narrow-body reference code limits which aircraft use the GA apron at Dijon, and business aviation is sequenced around that same ramp rather than a separate one. Private jet catering in France is delivered here to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged diverted flight catering at Dijon (DIJ/LFSD). Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. We would use them again for another short-notice stop. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

What operations gets asked every week about Dijon.
Ask operations directly →Can you tell me what airline catering costs at Dijon Airport?
A quotation turns on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window required, since we do not publish a fixed price list; the desk comes back with a figure once those are known.
Which special meal codes can DIJ produce, including halal and kosher?
The loader carries halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes on a separate production line, sealed before it joins the main uplift for that rotation.
When does an order need to be placed for a movement through LFSD?
Once a rotation is confirmed, the order should follow immediately, since cabin counts, protocol requirements and any special meal codes all need time to reach the kitchen before the loading window opens; the specification itself can still change closer to departure.
How does Dijon handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering under protocol?
Dijon runs VIP flight catering and government flight catering through the same named, security-cleared team on every movement, with the uplift sealed at the kitchen and a signed handover at the stand.
