Aviation catering — Berlin, Germany
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Berlin (EDDB / BER)
BER (IATA) · EDDB (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code and two runways at Berlin (EDDB) put multi-class aircraft on stands built for hi-loader boarding, so meal carts reach galley height without a foot-of-aircraft handoff. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering from that ramp position, with aviation catering for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights out of one ops desk.

Inflight catering lead times at Berlin airport
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at BER
Ramp access at Berlin is what our loading window actually measures, from the moment a sealed cart leaves the kitchen to the moment it clears the galley door. The catering uplift moves under one badge across the apron rather than handed off at the aircraft steps, which is the difference between a delivery and a boarding. That single custody line is what a multi-leg rotation through BER needs when the turnaround is tight.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Berlin sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst case each of them can produce rather than the average one. The chain of custody stays with one team from the moment the load is sealed to the moment it is signed for at the galley, with no intermediate handler taking possession of the trolleys. Temperature is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and galley catering is only released once both readings and the signature are on file.
One team carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley door.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Berlin (BER) departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for EDDB
The flight kitchen behind airport catering Berlin runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard and organised around the cold chain that a wide-body rotation depends on. Passenger meal boxes, tray sets and ground handling services move off the same floor as the household and government sets, produced to the same standard and staged for the same apron. That structure is what lets airport catering BER cover a scheduled turnaround and a royal movement from the same flight kitchen on the same day.
The team behind government flight catering at Berlin is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to royal household standards as well as to the standing tray specification. Nobody outside that list touches a sealed uplift bound for a protocol movement, and the same team signs the chain of custody at both ends of the run. Continuity, not headcount, is what a protocol officer checks first at BER catering.
VIP flight catering menus for Berlin, Germany departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Berlin airport
Menus at Berlin are built to the cabin and the mission first, and to the season second, so a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu never share a specification even when they board from the same kitchen. Local sourcing draws on Germany's dairy, orchard fruit and cold-water fish where the menu calls for them, worked into a structure that still answers to inflight catering Berlin standards on documentation and traceability. Special meals, halal and kosher sets and medical diets are written against the IATA codes and labelled per passenger and per cabin before they leave the kitchen. Galley ready meals arrive sized to the aircraft's own galley fit, not to a generic tray.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at EDDB are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for VIP flight catering movements. Each presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation through Berlin sees the same plate the household or the airline signed off.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Berlin run multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's galley. Crew meals in Berlin and pilot meals move on the same tray line, with cabin crew meals boxed separately to the roster rather than folded into the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at BER cover household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, including halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes for inflight catering Germany operators. Each set is produced on its own line and sealed before it leaves that line, so a mixed cabin can carry a dozen different codes without cross-contact.

Flight catering airside delivery at Berlin
Two runways and a wide-body reference code put Berlin (EDDB / BER) in scheduled, charter and government traffic on the same working day, which means a state delegation and a peak wave of departures can share the same shift. Aviation catering here treats each of those differently: a delegation is a documentation exercise before it is a food order, a wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat rotation is a repetition exercise that rewards a fixed specification.
The uplift travels from our flight kitchen across the apron under our own airside access, boarded by hi-loader to galley door height rather than dropped at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering in Germany run this way keeps ramp access, screening and escort inside one route instead of splitting the load across handlers, and airport catering in Berlin is planned stand by stand rather than as a single average lead time.
What we commit to at BER catering is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to stand, and a signed handover that closes the loop on both in-flight catering BER and any protocol movement sharing the same day.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Berlin
01
Government and state flight catering at EDDB
The wide-body stands at Berlin take a head of state aircraft on the same apron as a scheduled rotation, without the protocol movement being visible to the rest of the programme. Government flight catering at EDDB documents the file per passenger, puts only security-cleared staff on the load, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen, with EDDB catering held to that standard whenever a delegation is on the schedule.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at BER
Berlin's wide-body stands take a private airliner on the same ramp access as a scheduled wide-body, which is what lets a household movement sit inside the ordinary programme rather than needing a separate apron. Royal flight catering at Berlin holds BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than improvised on the day.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Berlin
The two runways at Berlin keep charter movements on the same wide-body stands as scheduled traffic, so a group rotation is worked without a separate apron or a separate kitchen queue. Charter flight catering at Berlin covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions including repatriation and humanitarian legs, with charter flight catering staged as a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet in galley order.

Airline and ad hoc catering at EDDB
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let Berlin (EDDB) carry outstation traffic and unscheduled arrivals on the same stands as its scheduled programme. Ad hoc airline catering in Berlin covers carriers running BER as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG catering included, across a multi-leg rotation, while crew meals BER and crew meals EDDB travel on the same tray line as the passenger load.

Private jet and FBO catering at BER
The FBOs on the field at Berlin sit within the same ramp access that serves the wide-body stands, which keeps a business aviation movement inside our ordinary loading window rather than routed around it. Private jet catering in Berlin reaches the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field as FBO catering, with business aviation catering and business jet catering run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We arranged government flight catering at Berlin (BER/EDDB) for a sensitive movement. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. Reliable, discreet, and easy to work with. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Carmen — Ramp Operations Manager
“I handled the cabin order for a flight from Berlin (BER/EDDB) and needed VIP airliner catering. They followed our plating notes closely and made the final setup easy for the cabin crew. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Jin — VIP Trip Manager
“We arranged umrah flight catering for a group movement through Berlin (BER/EDDB). The team handled the volume well and kept the boxes clearly identified by flight and service. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Aircraft catering questions at Berlin airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Berlin, Germany
What operations gets asked every week about Berlin.
Ask operations directly →At EDDB, are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced, and how are they documented?
The sealed cart carries every special meal code boarded that day, with halal, kosher and the rest of the SPML set produced on a dedicated line and labelled per passenger before it leaves the kitchen.
Whose airline catering cost applies at Berlin, and what does a quotation depend on?
For Berlin rotations, cost depends on cabin count, the written specification and the loading window rather than a fixed price list, and the desk returns a quotation once those three are confirmed.
Does Berlin airport take airline catering delivered airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Every uplift at Berlin moves airside under our own ramp badges and is boarded by hi-loader to galley door height, never handed off at the foot of the aircraft.
How far does private jet catering reach on the BER field?
The same cold chain and paperwork used for an airline uplift covers FBO catering across the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal at BER, with no separate standard for business aviation.
How late can a specification still change for an EDDB order, and how far in advance should it be placed?
There is a standing lead time built around the loading window at EDDB, with earlier confirmation needed for a full three-cabin uplift than for a single tray-set top-up, and last minute airline catering handled case by case against ramp availability.
At which point does protocol clearance apply to VIP, VVIP and government flights in Berlin?
The protocol file is opened before the uplift is sealed, so VIP flight catering and government flight catering in Berlin both move under security-cleared staff and a documented chain of custody from the first cart onward.
