From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Perpignan/Rivesaltes, France
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes (LFMP / PGF)
PGF (IATA) · LFMP (ICAO)
With a 2,500 metre runway and a wide-body reference code, Perpignan/Rivesaltes takes multi-class movements that most regional fields turn away, from scheduled rotations to sealed VIP departures. Inflight catering here is boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, and in-flight catering for wide-body cabins is planned around that single loading method, airside, from uplift to signature.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, LFMP / PGF
Every catering uplift at Perpignan/Rivesaltes moves on a fixed sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the field, boarded at the stand. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the convoy does not wait on a shared gate to clear the apron before the hi-loader can align with the galley door. That sequence is what a two-runway field with wide-body movements needs if a rotation is not to slip.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Perpignan/Rivesaltes sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is where a load is actually at risk, not the food inside it. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three, timing the escort so the cart reaches the aircraft inside its slot rather than waiting on it. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley, with temperature logged at both ends of the transfer. That is what turns a galley catering handover into a documented step rather than a verbal one, on every rotation through LFMP.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley: nothing in between goes unrecorded.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for LFMP
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Perpignan/Rivesaltes
Airport catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes runs from a production kitchen with hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof. Having all four functions on one site is what lets a single kitchen serve a scheduled rotation and a sealed VIP departure on the same afternoon without moving product between sites. Production runs to HACCP, and the cold chain is held from the moment a tray is sealed to the moment it is signed for airport catering in Perpignan/Rivesaltes.
The team that handles government flight catering at LFMP is the same named crew every rotation: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to the household service standards that travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity matters more than headcount on a field where delegations and repeat charters return through the same stand. Paperwork moves with the cart, not behind it, so catering at LFMP never separates the load from its record.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Perpignan/Rivesaltes airport
VVIP catering written per mission at PGF
Menus at Perpignan/Rivesaltes are written to the cabin and the mission, not to a single fixed cycle, drawing on the produce of the surrounding region — orchard fruit, dairy, fish from the coast nearby — worked into a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Inflight catering here moves from a full plated service in the forward cabins to galley-ready tray sets further back, on the same seal and the same schedule. Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before they join the load. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are labelled per passenger and per cabin, so a mixed-cabin rotation never carries an unmarked tray.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Perpignan/Rivesaltes are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and reproduced rotation after rotation, so the presentation does not vary between one departure and the next.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LFMP take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the fitted galley, boxed as tray sets rather than plated trolleys. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the cabin service and the crew meals for Perpignan/Rivesaltes never share a tray.
Protocol & dietary
Halal and kosher sets, alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line at LFMP and sealed before they leave it. Documentation runs per passenger rather than per cabin, so inflight catering carries the dietary record with the tray, not apart from it.

Flight catering airside delivery at Perpignan/Rivesaltes, France
Perpignan/Rivesaltes handles scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic across two runways, and that mix sets three different problems for catering: a delegation is a documentation problem, a peak charter wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a repetition problem that has to be solved the same way every time. Airline catering and aviation catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes are planned stand by stand rather than as one generic service, because the wide-body reference code held here means a single stand can take a movement that a narrow-body field could not.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to the galley door, with our own crew on the ramp from the moment the cart leaves the kitchen. In-flight catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes runs off one ops desk, so the same coordinator who plans a scheduled turnaround also plans a sealed government movement, and inflight catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes never splits into two separate operations for the two kinds of flying.
We commit to one named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover at the galley door, whatever the traffic profile that day — the same standard applies whether the movement is a routine turnaround or a sealed departure, and airport catering in France is judged on that consistency as much as on the tray itself.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at Perpignan/Rivesaltes
01
Government and state flight catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes
A 2,500 metre runway, held flat against the reference code the field carries, is what allows a sealed government movement to sit on the same stand as a scheduled service without a separate apron. Government flight catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes covers state visits and official delegations, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at LFMP
Our kitchen holds the wide-body reference code carried at this field against a written household specification kept on file between movements, rather than rebuilding it each time. Royal flight catering and VVIP work for private airliners — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP — draw on that same file, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request for catering at PGF.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at PGF
The wide-body reference code held at this field carries a full three-cabin uplift on its own, without splitting a charter load across two stands. Charter flight catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at LFMP staged in the order the galleys are laid out and counted against the loading sheet.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Perpignan/Rivesaltes
A single wide-body reference code has to absorb everything from a scheduled turnaround to an unplanned diversion without a second loading plan, which is what ad hoc airline catering at LFMP is built around. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG covered on the same footing across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LFMP
A wide-body movement on the reference code held here shares its apron with the business aviation traffic worked from the GA terminal, which is where private jet catering at PGF is delivered. FBO catering reaches every operator on the field by category rather than by name, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, whether the aircraft is a business jet or a wide-body VIP movement.

“For a team flight from Perpignan/Rivesaltes (PGF/LFMP), we booked football club charter catering with several dietary requests. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. A good partner for sports charter operations. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Business jet catering questions at Perpignan/Rivesaltes airport
Crew meals, lead times and access at Perpignan/Rivesaltes airport
What operations gets asked every week about Perpignan/Rivesaltes.
Ask operations directly →When can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at LFMP?
When a trip-support request reaches our desk, we route FBO catering to any FBO on the field and to the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Is there a minimum lead time for an order at Perpignan/Rivesaltes?
Our coordinator confirms the loading window as soon as the request comes in; how far in advance you need to book depends on the cabin count, but a specification can still change close to departure and last minute airline catering is worked through the same desk.
What does airline catering cost at Perpignan/Rivesaltes airport?
We price every quotation against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than a fixed list, so airline catering cost here is confirmed by the desk once those three are known.
Where are halal, kosher and special meal codes documented for PGF?
The production record for halal, kosher and every SPML code raised for a booking travels with the sealed tray, logged per passenger rather than per cabin, so special meals are traceable from kitchen to galley.
Which loading method do you use for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at LFMP?
The hi-loader carries every sealed cart to galley height for VIP flight catering and government flight catering alike, under the same protocol whatever the mission.
