Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Schkeuditz, Germany
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Schkeuditz (EDDP / LEJ)
LEJ (IATA) · EDDP (ICAO)
Two runways and a wide-body reference code set the loading plan here before a single tray moves, since aircraft up to wide-body must be sequenced on stand rather than queued at a shared belt loader. Inflight catering at Schkeuditz reaches the galley by hi-loader, in-flight catering for multi-class rotations is staged from the kitchen to the apron, and every uplift boards under the same ramp access as an airline turnaround.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Schkeuditz (LEJ)
The loading window at EDDP runs from the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the signature taken at the galley door, and every stage of it is logged rather than assumed. Ramp access is what a two-runway wide-body field actually sells an operator, and it is what lets a catering uplift reach the stand without waiting behind a shared delivery queue. Nothing here is estimated: the apron sequence is timed the same way on every rotation at Schkeuditz.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Schkeuditz sit screening, an escort through airside, and the ordinary traffic of a two-runway field working wide-body movements alongside everything smaller. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it, because a delayed escort costs the same galley slot whether the flight is scheduled, charter or government. Chain of custody stays with one team from the kitchen seal to the aircraft door, and every galley catering handover is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed, once when it is opened stand-side.
Temperatures are recorded at both ends of that route, at sealing and again at handover, so a cold-chain breach shows up on the log rather than in the cabin. The paperwork that closes the load carries a signature from whoever received it on the aircraft, not from whoever loaded the van.
One coordinator carries the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature, without a handoff.
Airline food supplier for Schkeuditz rotations
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Schkeuditz, Germany
Airport catering at Schkeuditz runs from one flight kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under a single roof, built to serve a two-runway field that already handles wide-body movements. Airport catering at EDDP is produced to a HACCP standard applied to every tray set regardless of cabin, so a First-class cover and a crew meal box leave the same cold chain. That single-site production is what lets the flight kitchen at LEJ answer a scheduled airline rotation and a government uplift from the same day's output rather than splitting capacity across sites.
Government flight catering at Schkeuditz is handled by the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn from general production. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, they work from the access list rather than a day pass, and they are trained to royal household standards alongside the paperwork a sealed uplift carries through the ramp. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks first: catering at LEJ for a repeat movement is worked by people who already know the specification.
Halal airline meals and special meals at LEJ
VVIP catering written per mission at EDDP / LEJ
Chef-designed menus at Schkeuditz are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a government movement do not share a specification by accident. Local sourcing draws on the dairy, orchard fruit and regional produce of Saxony-Anhalt where the season allows it, without naming a supplier or a single dish. Inflight catering here is built cabin by cabin: First and Business plated to a written specification, main cabin produced to tray-set volume, crew sets boxed to the roster. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed, not adjusted after boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Schkeuditz are plated to a written specification rather than a standard tray, with à-la-carte service available on request for a government or royal movement. VIP flight catering at EDDP is filed against the standing order for a repeat rotation, so the presentation is reproduced rather than re-briefed each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LEJ run multi-choice hot service to a cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on stand. Crew meals in Schkeuditz and cabin crew meals across our wider Germany rotations are boxed to the roster, with pilot meals kept on a separate line from the passenger cabin.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Schkeuditz are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Germany from this kitchen includes halal and kosher production run on a separate line, closed off before it joins the rest of the uplift.

Flight catering airside delivery at Schkeuditz airport
Schkeuditz operates two runways to a wide-body reference code, a combination that puts scheduled, charter and government traffic on the same apron rather than routing heavier movements elsewhere. That mix turns catering into a documentation and sequencing exercise as much as a production one: a delegation needs its protocol file matched to the manifest, and a charter wave needs its trays counted against the loading sheet before the hi-loader moves.
Airline catering at LEJ and aviation catering at Schkeuditz run off the flight kitchen described above, with in-flight catering in Schkeuditz delivered airside under our own ramp access rather than handed off at a shared gate. Inflight catering at Schkeuditz reaches the aircraft on the hi-loader to galley height, with the escort and the stand assignment coordinated the same way whatever the aircraft type on that stand.
Airport catering at LEJ commits to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the galley door.
Aviation catering for five mission types at EDDP / LEJ
01
Government and state flight catering at LEJ
A wide-body reference code held at a two-runway field means a head of state aircraft and a scheduled airliner are sequenced on the same apron under the same clearance process, not routed to a separate strip of tarmac. Government flight catering at Schkeuditz covers state visits and official delegations with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff throughout, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Schkeuditz
A wide-body reference code governs what boards on these two runways, and it is what lets a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ, wide-body VIP — take the same stand as a scheduled service without a separate ramp process. Royal flight catering at LEJ is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assumed.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at EDDP
A wide-body airliner on an ACMI or wet-lease rotation is what the reference code at this two-runway field is built to take, sequenced onto the stand the same way a scheduled service would be. Charter flight catering at Schkeuditz and charter flight catering at LEJ cover group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order before the hi-loader moves.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LEJ
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let Schkeuditz take scheduled wide-body rotations alongside the lighter traffic that shares its apron, which is what makes ad hoc airline catering here a same-day proposition rather than a booked-in-advance one. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering in Germany run off one duty roster with AOG covered, crew meals at Schkeuditz and crew meals at EDDP boxed alongside the passenger sets, across a multi-leg rotation without a change of kitchen.
Commercial airlines →
05
Private jet and FBO catering at Schkeuditz
Across the same two runways that take scheduled wide-body traffic, the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal draw on the identical flight kitchen rather than a separate business aviation menu. Private jet catering in Schkeuditz, FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering here run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, delivered to whichever ramp handler is working the movement.

Scheduled airline
“We requested HACCP at Schkeuditz (LEJ/EDDP) and the packaging worked very well onboard. The trays and boxes were organized logically, which saved the cabin crew time before passengers arrived. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Inflight catering FAQ for EDDP
Diversion catering and ramp questions at LEJ
What operations gets asked every week about Schkeuditz.
Ask operations directly →Where does the price for airline catering cost at Schkeuditz come from?
The quotation is built from the specification on file for the rotation: cabin count, menu tier and the loading window requested, since we do not publish a fixed price list. The desk returns a figure against those three points rather than a generic rate card.
At what point does an order need to be placed for LEJ, and how late can it change?
The specification is locked once the loading sheet is issued, which is the step that sets the tray count and the galley sequence for the stand. Before that point the lead time for a standard rotation is flexible; changes requested after sealing are handled as a late amendment rather than a rebuild of the order.
Are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered under protocol at EDDP?
The coordinator assigned to a government or royal rotation is the same named person who signs off the sealed uplift, working from the access list rather than general staff. VIP flight catering and government flight catering at this station both run under that same protocol file, documented per passenger before departure.
Whose sets cover halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes for flights out of Schkeuditz?
For every rotation the kitchen produces halal and kosher meals on a dedicated line, alongside the full range of special meal codes under the SPML system. Across cabins, each set is documented per passenger and sealed separately from the main uplift before it joins the cart.
