Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Frankfurt am Main Airport, Frankfurt am Main (EDDF / FRA)
FRA (IATA) · EDDF (ICAO)
Frankfurt am Main Airport runs four runways and a wide-body reference code, and a wide-body stand here takes a full three-cabin load boarded by hi-loader to galley height, airside, without a foot-of-aircraft handoff. AERO GOURMET delivers inflight catering and in-flight catering off that same ramp access, and aviation catering for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights across the field.

Aircraft catering lead times at Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at EDDF / FRA
EDDF catering is planned from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the galley door, not from a delivery slip left at the foot of the aircraft. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the convoy moves under our own escort rather than waiting on a shared shuttle. The catering uplift for Frankfurt am Main Airport is timed against that ramp access, not against the shortest possible drive.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Frankfurt am Main Airport sit screening, escort clearance and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst of those three rather than the best case on a quiet morning. A catering uplift here carries a chain of custody that starts at the sealed cart and does not break until a name is signed against it at the aircraft door. FRA catering is logged twice on temperature, once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and once again at the galley handover, so any variance is caught before it becomes a service problem rather than after.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing unaccounted between them.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Frankfurt am Main (FRA)
The flight kitchen behind airport catering in Frankfurt am Main runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built for the volumes a wide-body reference code implies rather than for occasional turnarounds. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, and the cold chain is held from the kitchen door to the galley without a break in the record. Flight kitchen FRA output is planned around what airport catering FRA actually requires flight by flight, not around a fixed daily batch.
The team that handles government flight catering at Frankfurt am Main Airport is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, each is on the access list for airside movement, and each is trained to household standards for the protocol work that travels alongside a sealed uplift. That continuity is what keeps a chain of custody intact between one government movement and the next at this station.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Frankfurt am Main
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Menus at Frankfurt am Main Airport are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed standard applied everywhere. German dairy, orchard fruit and freshwater fish inform the seasonal lines without naming a single supplier or dish, and the inflight catering plan adjusts as the season turns. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, not batched into a single dietary note attached to the flight. Special meal sets are produced on their own line in the kitchen and sealed before they join the main uplift, so a labelled tray reaches the seat it was written for.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Frankfurt am Main Airport take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification rather than assembled on the day, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order for that cabin, so a repeat rotation is served the same way it was served the last time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at EDDF run multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, with oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft rather than a generic tray. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger load and labelled to the roster, keeping flight-deck sets apart from the cabin service.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary work at Frankfurt am Main is documented per passenger: halal and kosher sets, the full range of IATA special meal codes, and household or medical requirements filed against the seat they belong to. Each set is produced on a separate line in the kitchen and sealed before it leaves that line, so the inflight catering load reaches the aircraft already matched to its passenger list.

Flight catering airside delivery at EDDF
Frankfurt am Main Airport runs four runways to a wide-body reference code, which puts scheduled, charter and government traffic on the same stands rather than routed to a secondary apron. That mix turns a delegation into a documentation problem before it is a cooking one, a peak wave into a capacity problem measured in stands rather than trays, and a repeat rotation into a question of holding the same specification twice running. Airline catering here moves from our flight kitchen to the wide-body stand by hi-loader, boarded to galley height rather than handed off at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew holding ramp access for the full transfer.
Aviation catering at Frankfurt am Main Airport and airport catering FRA are run off the same ops desk regardless of which segment is booked, so a diversion or an ad hoc uplift is worked by the team that already knows the stand layout. Airline catering Germany volumes at this station are planned stand by stand rather than as a single daily total, which is what lets a short-notice change be absorbed without reshuffling an unrelated rotation.
One coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, in-flight catering FRA and inflight catering Frankfurt am Main both closed out with a single handover record rather than a paper trail split across departments.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Frankfurt am Main
Four runways and a wide-body reference code put Frankfurt am Main Airport's stands within reach of ad hoc airline catering as easily as a scheduled rotation, so a diversion is worked by the same crew as a booked turnaround. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering for carriers using EDDF ad hoc catering run off one duty roster, with crew meals Germany and crew meals at Frankfurt am Main Airport boxed alongside the passenger load, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern.

Private jet and FBO catering at EDDF

Ethan — Delegation Flight Coordinator
“For a changing schedule at Frankfurt am Main (FRA/EDDF), we needed flexible ACMI. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
