Aviation catering — Nobitz, Germany
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Nobitz (EDAC / AOC)
AOC (IATA) · EDAC (ICAO)
With a single runway measured at 2435 metres, Nobitz takes narrow-body movements onto a stand where hi-loader boarding reaches the galley door directly, rather than a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering here runs on one ops desk for scheduled, charter, VIP and government flights, and in-flight catering is planned so the wide-body uplift discipline still governs every three-cabin rotation.

Inflight catering at wide-body scale for Nobitz (AOC)
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
In-flight catering loading window at Nobitz airport
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, AOC
The loading window at Nobitz runs from the sealed cart leaving our flight kitchen to the signature that closes the load at the galley door. Ramp access is held on our own badges rather than shared with a general handling queue, so the catering uplift moves on a fixed sequence across the apron at EDAC. Nothing about that sequence is estimated: it is logged at each stage, from the kitchen to the stand.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Nobitz sit screening, an escort across the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp; we plan the galley catering run against the worst of those, not the best. Chain of custody is kept unbroken from the seal at the kitchen to the handover at the aircraft, with a named escort covering the crossing itself. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed and logged again at the galley, and the catering uplift closes only once both readings and a signature are on file.
One sealed load, one named escort, one signature at the galley door.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Nobitz (AOC) departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for EDAC
The flight kitchen that provisions Nobitz runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard and the cold chain that carries through to the stand. Airport catering here is planned against the narrow-body reference code held at EDAC, so tray sets and passenger meal boxes leave production already sequenced to the boarding order. Airport catering at AOC is never staged loose: every cart is built to match the galley it is going to.
Government flight catering at Nobitz is handled by the same named team on every rotation, with security clearance on file and each member kept on a fixed access list. That team is trained to royal household standards as well as airline ones, so a protocol movement and a scheduled rotation are worked by the same cleared hands. Catering at AOC therefore never rotates a stranger onto a sealed uplift.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Nobitz, Germany
VVIP catering written per mission at Nobitz airport
Menus at Nobitz are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a single fixed list, so a scheduled rotation and a state movement draw on the same kitchen under different specifications. Local sourcing follows what the region actually produces: dairy, orchard fruit and regional cheese sit alongside the standard tray build, without naming a single supplier or dish. Inflight catering at Nobitz is planned in seasonal cycles, so the menu on a summer rotation is not the one loaded in winter. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it reaches the aircraft, so a special meal code travels with the same certainty as the standard tray.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at AOC are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single list. VIP flight catering here is boarded by hi-loader to galley height, so presentation is checked against the standing order before the cart ever leaves the kitchen.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Nobitz run on multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on each aircraft, with tray sets and meal boxes staged to the cabin count. Crew meals in Germany follow the same specification: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and labelled to the roster before boarding.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at EDAC are documented per passenger, covering halal, kosher, vegan and gluten-free requirements alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering at AOC produces these on a separate line from the standard cabin service and seals them before they leave that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at Nobitz
A single narrow-body-rated runway at Nobitz sets the traffic this station actually carries: scheduled and charter movements rather than heavy long-haul rotations, which keeps the documentation load per flight lighter but no less exact. Airline catering in Nobitz and inflight catering in Nobitz both run off the same duty roster, so a repeat rotation is worked to the same tray build every time rather than re-specified from scratch.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our flight kitchen by sealed cart, moved across the apron under escort and boarded by hi-loader directly to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the stand. Aviation catering in Nobitz is staged against the narrow-body reference code held here, so the loading crew works to a fixed sequence on every rotation.
One coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, and airport catering at AOC closes only once that handover is recorded against the loading sheet.
Aviation catering for five mission types at Nobitz (AOC)
01
Government and state flight catering at Nobitz
A single narrow-body-rated runway keeps every movement at Nobitz on one reference code, and that same discipline carries into government flight catering for state visits and official delegations. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared and on a fixed access list, and the uplift for any head of state movement is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at EDAC
Our kitchen holds a narrow-body specification on file for every repeat rotation into Nobitz, and that same written standard carries across to royal flight catering for private airliners such as BBJ and ACJ types. Household dietary requirements, including halal sets, are prepared on request, and the specification kept on file between movements means a household team never starts from a blank order at AOC.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at AOC
The narrow-body reference code governing Nobitz sets the boarding sequence for every charter movement here, covering ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift. Charter flight catering at EDAC is counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order, and charter flight catering in Germany follows the same written sequence at every stand it reaches.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Nobitz
A single narrow-body-rated runway means every rotation through Nobitz is sequenced against one reference code rather than split across mixed stands, which keeps ad hoc airline catering predictable even on a busy day. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the same duty roster here, AOC included, across a multi-leg rotation, and crew meals at Nobitz travel boxed to the same roster as the passenger cabin.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at EDAC
Narrow-body movements at Nobitz share the same apron discipline that business aviation traffic uses here, which is why private jet catering in Germany runs on the identical cold chain as a scheduled airline uplift. Delivery reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, with FBO catering carried on the same paperwork and the same sealed handover as any other rotation at AOC.

Scheduled airline
“We were looking for a dependable airline catering partner in Nobitz (AOC/EDAC) and the process was straightforward. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Rami — Crew Planning Coordinator
“I arranged private jet catering in Nobitz for our departure from AOC/EDAC. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. Good local support for a VIP operation. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Paul — Ground Support Manager
“I requested special meal codes for passengers departing Nobitz (AOC/EDAC) and the labeling was excellent. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at Nobitz, Germany
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Nobitz, Germany
What operations gets asked every week about Nobitz.
Ask operations directly →With one narrow-body runway at Nobitz, how much does airline catering cost here?
There is no fixed price list: an airline catering cost at Nobitz depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and our desk returns a quotation once those are known.
How are halal, kosher and special meal codes handled at AOC?
AOC production runs halal and kosher sets on a separate line from the standard cabin service, with the full range of SPML codes documented per passenger before sealing.
What lead time does EDAC need for a catering order, and how late can the specification change?
We ask for advance notice to build the tray specification and sequence it against the loading window, and we can still take last minute airline catering changes closer to departure when the ramp schedule allows.
Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights through Nobitz, and under what protocol?
Yes, under a documented protocol: VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run with security-cleared staff, a fixed access list and a sealed uplift before departure.
Can Nobitz deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
A single sealed cart covers the whole delivery: private jet catering reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled the same way for every operator on the apron.
