Aviation catering — Strasbourg, France
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Strasbourg (LFST / SXB)
SXB (IATA) · LFST (ICAO)
A single runway and a narrow-body reference code set the loading plan at Strasbourg: one stand sequence, one hi-loader run, no second apron to fall back on if the window slips. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body-trained uplift procedures on that stand, boarding straight to the aircraft door rather than staging trays at the foot of the aircraft.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Strasbourg
Ramp access at Strasbourg is scheduled against the single runway's traffic, not left to arrive when it can, so the catering uplift is timed to a fixed slot ahead of pushback. Every cart is sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the apron and loaded through the galley door at the hi-loader's own height, never staged at the foot of the aircraft. That sequence is what turns a narrow single-stand field into a station a wide-body or VIP operator can plan against with confidence.

Between our kitchen and the one stand at Strasbourg sit apron traffic, a security check and the escort that walks the convoy across it: the galley catering plan treats the convoy as the risk, not the food it carries. Every catering uplift is planned against the worst of that sequence, never the best case, because a single runway leaves no second routing if the first slot is missed. The temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, closing a chain of custody that runs unbroken from the flight kitchen's galley to the cabin crew who sign for it.
The convoy is the risk we plan against, not the food inside it.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Strasbourg airport

Airline food supplier crews cleared for SXB
The flight kitchen that provisions LFST runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, held to HACCP standards from intake to seal. That single-site model is what lets airport catering at Strasbourg cover a scheduled rotation and a diplomatic movement from the same cold chain on the same afternoon. Airport catering in France runs to the identical HACCP standard at every station we provision, and at Strasbourg it is worked at the scale one wide-body stand actually needs.
The team behind government flight catering at Strasbourg is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and the kitchen, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, well before the specification itself.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Strasbourg (SXB)
VVIP catering written per mission at LFST
Menus at Strasbourg are chef-designed and adapted to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than run from a single fixed sheet, with the inflight catering plan drawing on produce from across France where the calendar allows it. A short state or diplomatic rotation is written differently from a long charter sector, and both differ again from a repeat commercial pattern flown week after week. Dietary and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, never assumed from a general list, covering allergen, halal, kosher and religious sets alongside standard formats. That documentation travels with the sealed uplift, so the crew serving the cabin has the same record the kitchen worked from.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Strasbourg are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed set menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request for VIP flight catering movements. The presentation is filed against the standing order each time, so a repeat rotation is served to the same result.

Business cabins
Business cabins at SXB run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed into tray sets ready for immediate loading. Crew meals travel alongside the cabin service, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately to the roster rather than pulled from the passenger count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LFST are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes for household, religious and medical needs. Each set is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen, so inflight catering for one passenger never crosses the production run meant for another.

Aircraft catering under HACCP control at LFST
Flight catering airside delivery at LFST / SXB
Strasbourg works scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single runway and one wide-body-capable stand, which turns any delegation or peak wave into a documentation and sequencing exercise rather than a capacity one: everything moving through that stand is planned in the order it will be loaded.
The uplift travels from our flight kitchen to that stand under escort, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with ground handling on the apron and airside delivery timed against the field's own traffic. Airline catering in Strasbourg, in-flight catering in Strasbourg and inflight catering at Strasbourg run off the same ops desk; aviation catering at SXB and airport catering in Strasbourg are both planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed for the day.
On every rotation through this stand we commit one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover at the galley door.

“For our departure from Strasbourg (SXB/LFST), we specifically needed HACCP. The order came ready for service with no unnecessary packaging or loose items to sort through. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Leila — Protocol Operations Officer
“We had a tech stop requirement at Strasbourg (SXB/LFST) and the coordination was very smooth. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Charter operator
David — Crew Operations Coordinator
“We used the team for business jet catering at Strasbourg (SXB/LFST) on a VIP trip. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. I would definitely order from them again. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Inflight catering FAQ for SXB
Government flight catering asked about SXB
What operations gets asked every week about Strasbourg.
Ask operations directly →How does Strasbourg Airport handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering, and under what protocol?
Every VIP flight catering and government flight catering movement here runs to a written household or state protocol, with the specification filed and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.
How far in advance does SXB need an airline catering order, and how late can the specification change?
Yes, standard rotations are placed with routine lead time, and last minute airline catering changes are still worked when the specification moves close to departure, provided the change reaches the kitchen before sealing.
At which point is airline catering cost at LFST confirmed for a booking?
The first step is the cabin count and specification review; airline catering cost is then quoted once the loading window and cabin plan are fixed, since no price list is published in advance.
Strasbourg — do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The hi-loader and ramp vehicles that carry the uplift to a wide-body stand also run private jet catering and FBO catering to the GA terminal, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline order.
Given the single stand at Strasbourg Airport, are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced, and how are they documented?
There is a dedicated production line for halal, kosher and the full range of SPML special meal codes, each set documented per passenger and sealed separately before it leaves the kitchen.
Whose crew boards airline catering airside at SXB, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
For every rotation through this stand, our own escorted crew carries the sealed uplift by hi-loader to galley height, delivered airside rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.
