Aviation catering — Manching, Germany
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Manching (ETSI / IGS)
IGS (IATA) · ETSI (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code held at Manching means the aircraft boarded here range from scheduled airliners to large charters, and the hi-loader that reaches their sills is the same unit used for every uplift. In-flight catering moves from our kitchen to the galley door on that platform, and inflight catering at Manching is planned around it rather than around a set delivery point on the tarmac.

Inflight catering lead times at IGS
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at ETSI / IGS
Per rotation, the route from our kitchen to the aircraft at Manching runs through screening, the ramp and a hi-loader lift to the galley door. Ramp access is held on our own badges for the whole cycle, not requested stand by stand, which keeps a catering uplift moving once it leaves the kitchen. Nothing about that route is estimated: each stage is logged as it happens at IGS.
Between sealing at the flight kitchen and the signature at the aircraft, a catering uplift for ETSI passes through screening, an escorted convoy and the apron traffic around the stand, and the plan is built against the busiest of those stages rather than the average one. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed and logged again at handover, so the chain of custody has two fixed points rather than one. The galley catering itself is packed to the loading sheet before it ever reaches the ramp, so the convoy carries a finished load, not a work in progress.
One coordinator owns the load from the sealed cart to the signature at the aircraft.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for ETSI
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Manching
The flight kitchen that provisions ETSI holds hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, run to HACCP standard from intake to load-out. Airport catering at Manching depends on that single site rather than on split production, so a multi-leg rotation draws its main cabin, its Business trays and its protocol meals from the same cold chain. Airport catering here is scaled to run the same standard whether the day's traffic is one wide-body or several in sequence.
The team that handles government flight catering at Manching is the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned by shift. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the household and departmental standards that travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what lets catering at ETSI move from one state movement to the next without re-briefing the crew each time.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Manching airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at IGS
Menus at Manching are written to the cabin and the mission rather than issued from one fixed list, moving from passenger meal boxes for a scheduled rotation to full plated service for a VVIP movement. Inflight catering here draws on the region's produce where the routing allows it, working from dairy, orchard fruit and regional cheese boards into main cabin, Business and First without naming a single fixed dish. Seasonal changes are built into the cycle rather than left as a one-off request. Every set closes on a documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical profile, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at ETSI carry VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Presentation is checked against that standing order before the cart is sealed, not improvised at the galley door.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Manching run on multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted on the aircraft, in oven-ready formats sized to that specification. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so tray sets and meal boxes leave the kitchen already sorted by seat and by duty.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at IGS cover household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line. Halal and kosher sets sit alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, so inflight catering here answers a mixed cabin manifest without reworking the specification.

Airside airport catering at Manching, Germany
Manching carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways, and a wide-body reference code held at the field means a mixed rotation of large aircraft is the normal working day rather than the exception. Airline catering here is planned against that mix: a delegation adds a documentation step, a peak wave adds a capacity step, and a repeat charter rotation adds a repetition the kitchen builds a cycle around.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded directly at the galley door rather than staged on the tarmac, with our own crew on the ramp for the whole cycle. Inflight catering at IGS and in-flight catering share that one route regardless of which cabin is being loaded, and aviation catering for a diverted or delayed aircraft follows the same path rather than a separate one.
On every rotation at Manching, one coordinator owns the load from the sealed cart to the signed handover, and airport catering here is answerable to that single name rather than to a shift roster.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at Manching
01
Government and state flight catering at ETSI
A wide-body stand has to be sequenced around who is on it, and at Manching that sequencing is built into government flight catering from the outset: the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen. A head of state aircraft moves through the same terminal process as any other wide-body arrival, with the paperwork carried alongside it rather than added afterwards.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at IGS
Wide-body is the reference code at Manching, and that single fact keeps private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — on the same stands as any other large aircraft passing through. Royal flight catering here runs to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than negotiated on the day.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Manching
Our kitchen counts a full three-cabin uplift against the loading sheet before it leaves for the stand, staging trays in the order the galleys are laid out on each aircraft type. Charter flight catering at IGS serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, and charter flight catering in Manching runs on that same counted, staged sequence whatever the season or the mission type.

Airline and ad hoc catering at ETSI
With a wide-body reference code held at Manching, carriers running this field as an outstation get the same tray standard whether the rotation is scheduled or called in with a few hours' notice. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with crew meals at ETSI and crew meals at IGS boxed to the roster across a multi-leg rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at IGS
A wide-body reference code sets the ramp standard at Manching, and that same standard extends to the smaller movements sharing the field. Private jet catering in Manching is delivered by our dedicated branch to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering held to the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“A short-notice movement brought us into Manching (IGS/ETSI), so we needed reliable AOG catering. Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
William — VIP Account Manager
“We used the service at Manching (IGS/ETSI) for outstation catering on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. A solid solution for outstation operations. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Fiona — Special Air Mission Coordinator
“We compared options for Manching (IGS/ETSI) and asked for an airline catering cost. Pricing, delivery timing, and packaging were all explained upfront, which helped us approve the uplift quickly. Good option when you need a fast and transparent answer. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at Manching airport
What operations gets asked every week about Manching.
Ask operations directly →Do you publish a fixed airline catering cost for Manching?
Yes, by working from the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than a fixed list, and the desk returns with a quotation once those three are set.
How does private jet catering reach the FBOs on the field at IGS?
IGS traffic outside the main terminal is worked by our dedicated branch, delivering FBO catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Which lead time applies before a load leaves the kitchen for ETSI?
The loader and the cart are booked against the loading window once the order is placed, and how far in advance that has to happen depends on the cabin count; last minute airline catering is worked where the specification allows it.
Can VIP, VVIP and government flights be catered through Manching under protocol?
The security-cleared crew and the access list that cover VIP flight catering and government flight catering here are the same team on every rotation, and protocol paperwork travels sealed with the load.
What halal, kosher and special meal codes does Manching produce?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA SPML special meals, documented per passenger and produced on a separate line before sealing.
Given the ramp here, is airline catering delivered airside at IGS?
There is a hi-loader route running from our kitchen straight to the galley door, so airside delivery is the standard method rather than an added option.
