Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Paris, France
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Paris (LFPO / ORY)
ORY (IATA) · LFPO (ICAO)
A 3,650-metre runway at Paris (LFPO) puts wide-body movements on the same field as scheduled and government traffic, so an operator can plan a full three-cabin uplift without a second airport in the routing. Inflight catering here runs from a sealed kitchen to the galley door by hi-loader, and in-flight catering for charter and diversion work moves through the same ops desk, with uplift boarded at height rather than left on the ramp.

Inflight catering lead times at ORY
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at LFPO / ORY
Ramp access is what a wide-body reference code buys at this field: our crews carry a catering uplift straight onto the stand rather than staging it at the foot of the aircraft. Every cart is sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the apron on our own clearance and opened only at the galley door, in the sequence the loading sheet fixes before departure. Nothing about that sequence is estimated; it is logged the same way on every rotation through Paris.
Between our kitchen and the stand at LFPO sit screening, an escort across the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a field that runs wide-body movements on shared stands. We build the galley catering plan against the busiest of those, not the easiest, so a delayed escort or a queued checkpoint never becomes the reason an uplift misses its slot. Chain of custody stays with one crew from seal to signature, which is the point of routing a catering uplift this way rather than dropping it at the ramp edge. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and again at handover, and the paperwork that closes the load carries a signature at both ends, not one. Nothing on that sheet is estimated: it is the same record whether the movement is a scheduled service or a single ad hoc uplift.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for LFPO
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Paris
Airport catering at this field is provisioned from a facility built to run hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, so a wide-body rotation is never assembled from separate deliveries. Airport catering in Paris runs to HACCP standards through every stage of that production, with the cold chain held from the moment a tray is sealed to the moment it clears the galley door at LFPO. Having every line under one roof is what lets a First, Business and main cabin order move as a single dispatch rather than three staggered ones.
The team behind government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from a general pool. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the stands this traffic uses, and is trained to royal household standards as well as to the paperwork a sealed uplift carries between the kitchen and the aircraft. That continuity is what keeps chain of custody intact when a delegation or a repeat charter returns to the same stand.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Paris airport
VVIP catering written per mission at ORY
Menus at this station are written to the cabin first and the mission second: a First and Business specification differs from a main cabin tray set long before either reaches the galley. Inflight catering in Paris draws where the facts allow on regional produce — dairy, orchard fruit, fish from French coastal supply — described in general terms rather than as a named dish, and adjusted with the season rather than fixed year round. A VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu both run from the same kitchen but to separate specifications, one built around a standing order, the other around the mission brief for a single rotation. Every set closes on documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LFPO: VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Presentation is filed against the standing order for this station, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard the crew signed off last time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Paris run multi-choice hot service to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same tray sets, boxed to the roster, so cabin crew meals and flight-deck sets clear the galley door together rather than as an afterthought.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at ORY are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed: halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and household or medical requirements carried on the same paperwork as the rest of the load. Inflight catering here is produced on a separate line and closed off before it leaves the kitchen.

Flight catering airside delivery at Paris, France
Paris runs scheduled, charter and government traffic across stands built to a wide-body reference code, which means a delegation, a peak departure wave and a repeat charter rotation can land on the same afternoon without one displacing another. That mix turns catering into three separate problems at once: a delegation is a documentation exercise before it is a menu, a wave of departures is a capacity question for the kitchen, and a repeat rotation is a matter of loading the same specification the same way every time.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader, boarded directly at galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, on a route run from our kitchen to the stand under our own airside clearance. Aviation catering at LFPO and airport catering in France both move through that one route, with the loading crew working from the same sheet the kitchen sealed the cart against. Airline catering at Paris is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, because a wide-body movement can be assigned to any stand this field clears for it.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover that closes the load the same way whether the flight is a single ad hoc in-flight catering order at LFPO or a scheduled service running through inflight catering in France on a fixed roster.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at Paris
01
Government and state flight catering at LFPO
Across the wide-body stands this field clears for state and diplomatic movements, a delegation boards through the same ramp infrastructure as any scheduled widebody, with the protocol file built around that stand assignment rather than a dedicated gate. Government flight catering at this station covers state visits and head of state movements, documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at ORY
Loading a private airliner to household standards means working around the same wide-body stand assignment as any other movement on this field, so the sequence is fixed before the aircraft is even called to the ramp. Royal flight catering at this station serves BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP airframes from a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with halal and other royal household requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Paris
A 3,650-metre runway clears a fully loaded wide-body for departure, which is what lets a charter operator plan a full three-cabin uplift rather than a reduced one. Charter flight catering in France covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at LFPO counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LFPO
A single wide-body reference code across this field's stands means a widebody diverted here boards from the same ramp infrastructure as a scheduled service, with no separate stand set aside for irregular operations. Ad hoc airline catering at ORY covers carriers running this station as an outstation, and the same duty roster carries outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at ORY
Our kitchen runs the same cold chain into the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field as it does onto the wide-body stands, so a business aviation movement is never provisioned to a lower standard. Private jet catering in Paris reaches those aprons through our dedicated branch, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all carried on the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our team used the service at Paris (ORY/LFPO) for state visit aircraft catering with strict timing and handling requirements. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Liam — VIP Trip Manager
“I handled the cabin order for a flight from Paris (ORY/LFPO) and needed private airliner catering. Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. A very smooth experience for the cabin team. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Dario — Protocol Aviation Manager
“We booked pilgrim flight catering at Paris (ORY/LFPO) for a large group departure. Packaging was practical for the cabin and the uplift arrived in good order for departure. Good coordination for a high-volume movement. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at Paris airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Paris airport
What operations gets asked every week about Paris.
Ask operations directly →Is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at LFPO?
Our coordinator routes every order to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, on the same cold chain as an airline uplift. FBO catering here runs on one paperwork trail regardless of which apron the aircraft is parked on.
Does Paris produce halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes?
Every passenger with a declared requirement is logged against the specific IATA special meal code before the cart is sealed. Halal, kosher and the wider SPML range are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger, never assumed from a general order.
Where is protocol documented for VIP, VVIP and government flights at Paris?
The protocol file travels with the load itself, not as a separate record kept back at the kitchen. VIP flight catering and government flight catering here are both signed off against that same file before the aircraft is boarded.
When is airline catering cost confirmed at ORY?
Once the cabin count, the specification and the loading window are set, the desk returns a quotation built on those three factors rather than a published rate card. Airline catering cost here always follows the brief, not the reverse.
Who sets the lead time on an order placed at LFPO?
For a scheduled rotation the specification can still change close to departure; for a full VIP or government uplift, earlier notice keeps the loading window comfortable. Last minute airline catering is handled where the kitchen's production schedule allows it.
Which method gets airline catering airside at Paris?
The hi-loader carries the sealed cart straight to galley height, so airside delivery here never stops at the foot of the aircraft. That same loader is used whether the movement is a scheduled service or a single charter rotation.
