Aviation catering — Munich, Germany
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Munich (EDDM / MUC)
MUC (IATA) · EDDM (ICAO)
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let Munich take multi-class widebodies on stand for full three-cabin uplift, boarded by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering out of one ops desk here, with the kitchen route built round hi-loader boarding and airside movement for every uplift, sector after sector.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Munich, Germany
Ramp access is what separates a delivery at the foot of the aircraft from a catering uplift boarded straight to the galley, and at Munich that access sits with our own crews rather than a handover at the stand. Every cart is sealed at the kitchen, tracked across the apron and loaded by hi-loader to galley height, so the convoy is timed against the same shift that runs the rest of the turnaround. Nothing about the route changes for a scheduled sector, a diversion or a state movement: the sequence is fixed, only the specification on the cart differs.

Between our kitchen and the stand at MUC sit landside screening, an airside escort and apron traffic that neither of us controls, and the convoy is planned against the worst of those three rather than the average day. That is the real risk in a galley catering run: not the food, but the minutes lost to a checkpoint or a taxiing widebody ahead of the cart. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover, with the same document carrying a signature at both ends, so the chain of custody behind the catering uplift is never a verbal handover on the ramp.
One convoy, one seal, one signature — the risk sits with the route, not the tray.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Munich airport

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at EDDM / MUC
The flight kitchen behind Munich runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, so airport catering here does not depend on outside subcontracting to cover a widebody rotation. That structure is what lets airport catering in Munich hold HACCP production standards and a continuous cold chain from the same site that packs tray sets and passenger meal boxes for a scheduled sector. Whatever leaves the flight kitchen MUC carries the same paperwork, whether it boards a commercial widebody or a private airliner on the same afternoon.
Government flight catering at this station is handled by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assembled for the day. Each of them holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for airside movement, and is trained to royal household standards for service on board rather than only in the kitchen. The paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift is theirs to close, from the seal at the kitchen to the signature that hands it over at the aircraft.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at EDDM
VVIP catering to a written specification at Munich
Menus at Munich are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, because a state delegation and a scheduled widebody rarely eat off the same specification. German dairy, lake and river fish, and orchard fruit from the surrounding region sit alongside the standing international menu structure without replacing it, so a rotation can draw on local sourcing without losing consistency across sectors. Inflight catering here is written cabin by cabin, from a main-cabin tray set to a First cabin plated course, rather than as one fixed offer. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, covering allergen declarations, halal and kosher requirements and medical diets on the same specification sheet.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at EDDM are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed printed menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for a state or private airliner movement. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so the presentation matches what protocol expects on the next sector as much as this one.

Business cabins
Business cabins out of Munich run multi-choice hot service to a 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 to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets, so the flight deck and the cabin crew never draw from the same set as the passengers.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Munich cover household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger before the cart leaves the kitchen. Halal and kosher sets are produced on a separate line, alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, so inflight catering here is sealed with its documentation rather than assembled loose at the last stage.

Airline catering services under HACCP at Munich airport
Flight catering airside delivery at Munich (MUC)
Munich runs two runways into a wide-body reference code, which puts scheduled widebodies, charter movements and government traffic on the same aircraft category rather than splitting them across separate infrastructure. That mix means a delegation lands here as a documentation problem before it is a kitchen problem, and a peak departure wave is a capacity problem measured in stands and hi-loaders rather than in menus.
The uplift itself moves from our kitchen to the ramp by sealed cart, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed over at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crews on the apron for the loading and the escort. Aviation catering at Munich and airport catering Munich both run off that same route, whatever the cabin count on the loading sheet. Inflight catering EDDM, in-flight catering Germany and airline catering Germany are coordinated from one ops desk rather than three separate ones, so a change to a stand or a slot reaches the loading crew without a second call.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator per movement, sealed carts from kitchen to aircraft, and a signed handover at the stand that closes the paperwork on the same day it opens.

“We arranged presidential flight catering at Munich (MUC/EDDM) for a sensitive movement. They followed the instructions carefully and kept communication limited to the operational contacts involved. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Antoine — Charter Account Manager
“I handled the cabin order for a flight from Munich (MUC/EDDM) and needed wide body VIP aircraft catering. The portions, packaging, and labeling worked well for the cabin, and the timing was spot on. Good quality and very practical for onboard service. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Emily — Crew Logistics Coordinator
“We arranged hajj flight catering for a group movement through Munich (MUC/EDDM). Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. Good coordination for a high-volume movement. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Aircraft catering questions for EDDM
Diversion catering and ramp questions at EDDM
What operations gets asked every week about Munich.
Ask operations directly →How does MUC handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering, and under what protocol?
MUC runs VIP flight catering and government flight catering off one desk, with every uplift sealed under a written protocol before it leaves the kitchen and handed over against a signed record at the stand.
Which halal, kosher and special meal codes does EDDM produce, and how are they documented?
The loader routes halal and kosher sets on a separate production line before they reach the cart, and every IATA SPML code ordered is documented per passenger and matched to the cabin manifest before sealing.
What private jet catering do you deliver to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Munich?
We deliver to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal from the same kitchen that provisions the wide-body stands, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
When does an order need to be placed for Munich Airport, and how late can the specification still change?
When a mission is confirmed we ask for as much lead time as the rotation allows, and as soon as the loading window opens a specification can still be adjusted right up to sealing, including last minute airline catering requests.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at MUC, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Yes, by hi-loader straight to the galley door, with airside delivery handled by our own crews from kitchen to stand rather than a handover at the foot of the aircraft.
