Aviation catering — Nîmes/Garons, France
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Nîmes/Garons (LFTW / FNI)
FNI (IATA) · LFTW (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code sets the loading plan here: one aircraft class on stand, one hi-loader profile, one galley height to work to every rotation. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, aviation catering and in-flight catering at Nîmes/Garons for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet uplift, boarding wide-body volume habits onto a narrow-body ramp without a wasted movement.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Nîmes/Garons
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at LFTW / FNI
Ramp access is what a loading plan here is built around, since the apron at Nîmes/Garons runs one narrow-body stand rather than a bank of them. Every catering uplift moves from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on that single stand, timed against the same sequence each rotation rather than estimated on the day. The window is short because the stand is single, and it is held, not guessed.
Between our kitchen and the one working stand at Nîmes/Garons sit airside screening, an escort through the checkpoint and whatever apron traffic is holding at LFTW that hour. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three, never the best, so the galley catering reaches the door inside the window regardless of what else is moving on the apron.
Temperature is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, once again at handover on the stand, and the chain of custody closes with a signature at the galley rather than a note left on the ramp.
One coordinator owns the load, seal to signature, on every rotation.
Airline catering companies' production standard at FNI
Airline food supplier crews cleared for LFTW / FNI
The flight kitchen that provisions Nîmes/Garons runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to tray, a measured distance from the single stand at LFTW. Airport catering here is planned around that one working stand rather than a spread of gates, which keeps the cold chain short between sealing and boarding. Airport catering at FNI is produced to feed a narrow-body rotation on schedule, not a wide-body bank that this field does not run.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Nîmes/Garons is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file rather than issued per movement. They sit on the access list that governs the one working stand at FNI, trained to the household paperwork that has to travel sealed with a state or royal uplift. Nothing about that team changes between a scheduled rotation and a protocol one; only the file that rides with the cart does.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LFTW
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Nîmes/Garons
Menus at Nîmes/Garons are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, drawing where it fits on produce from this part of France rather than a fixed regional theme. Dairy, orchard fruit and fish sourced locally sit alongside a standing tray-set specification that does not change rotation to rotation. Inflight catering here runs from passenger meal boxes to a VVIP tray set on the same production line, with the specification, not the cook, deciding what leaves the kitchen. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is loaded.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Nîmes/Garons are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than by default. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard without a new brief each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LFTW run a multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, 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, alongside tray sets ready for the working stand.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at FNI are documented per passenger before the uplift leaves the kitchen, covering household, religious and medical sets including halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering of this kind is produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the rest of the load.

Aircraft catering delivered airside at Nîmes/Garons (FNI)
Nîmes/Garons runs scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single runway and one narrow-body reference code, which makes every rotation a documentation exercise as much as a loading one: a delegation needs its protocol file matched to the manifest, a repeat charter needs the same tray set held rotation to rotation. Airline catering in Nîmes/Garons is planned around that one working stand rather than a spread of gates.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, cleared through the airside checkpoint on our own badges, with ground handling on the apron working the same sequence every time. Aviation catering at Nîmes/Garons and in-flight catering at FNI run off a single ops desk rather than a shift roster, so the same coordinator who plans the load also signs it off on the stand.
Airport catering in Nîmes/Garons and inflight catering in Nîmes/Garons commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover on every movement through this field.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at LFTW / FNI
01
Government and state flight catering at Nîmes/Garons
Our kitchen works the 2440 metre runway at Nîmes/Garons as a single sequence rather than a set of alternatives, which is what lets a delegation movement be planned exactly once. Government flight catering at LFTW covers state visits and official delegations for a head of state aircraft, with protocol documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at LFTW
The 2440 metre runway at Nîmes/Garons takes the private airliners this segment flies, holding a household specification on file between movements rather than rebuilding one on the day. Royal flight catering here covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP airframes on that single stand, with halal and other household requirements produced on request to the standard the royal household expects on every VVIP rotation.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at FNI
A narrow-body reference code governs this ramp, and it is what lets a charter operator turn a group movement here without waiting on a wide-body slot. Charter flight catering at Nîmes/Garons covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering at LFTW staged in the order the galleys are laid out on that same stand.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Nîmes/Garons
A 2440 metre runway, and that length holds the narrow-body traffic this station is built to turn rather than a wide-body bank. Ad hoc airline catering at FNI covers carriers running this station as an outstation: outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation, and crew meals in Nîmes/Garons boxed to the same roster as the cabin load, held at LFTW to the identical standard on every call.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LFTW
On the same narrow-body reference code that governs the airline stand at Nîmes/Garons, business aviation is worked through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than a separate ramp. Private jet catering at FNI reaches them on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled by our dedicated private-jet branch and business aviation catering delivered on the identical loading standard as a business jet catering order.

“We used group charter catering at Nîmes/Garons (FNI/LFTW) for a team charter and had a good experience. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. We would book them again for another team movement. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Amara — Network Operations Coordinator
“We arranged military charter catering at Nîmes/Garons (FNI/LFTW) for a non-routine passenger movement. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. We appreciated the flexibility. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Ryan — Ground Operations Manager
“Our freighter crew needed freighter crew meals at Nîmes/Garons (FNI/LFTW) during a short turnaround. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. Simple, efficient, and on time. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Crew meals, lead times and access at LFTW
What operations gets asked every week about Nîmes/Garons.
Ask operations directly →How much does airline catering cost at LFTW?
LFTW publishes no fixed price list; a quotation depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window booked. The desk comes back with a figure once those three are set.
When are halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes produced for Nîmes/Garons?
When a booking carries a special meal code, halal, kosher and the full SPML range are produced on a separate line at our kitchen and documented per passenger before sealing. As soon as the order confirms the codes, the tray set is locked to them for every leg of that rotation.
What protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flights at Nîmes/Garons?
We hold VIP flight catering and government flight catering to the same access-list and chain-of-custody standard on every movement, whatever the airframe on stand. Security-cleared staff handle the uplift and the paperwork travels sealed with the cart.
Where is the record kept that sets how far in advance an order must be placed at FNI?
The booking sheet held by our ops desk sets the lead time and the point past which a specification can still change before sealing. Last minute airline catering is worked against that same sheet rather than a separate process.
Which method delivers private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at LFTW?
The same sealed cart and loading crew that work the airline stand carry FBO catering to the GA terminal and to every FBO on the field, on one cold chain rather than a separate route for each.
