Airline & VIP flight catering — Greece
Airline, VIP and Private Jet Catering Across Greece
Wide-body ramp access anchors airline catering across Greece, with hi-loader boarding straight to the galley door at Spata-Artemida and its 4000 m runway. Aviation catering here spans scheduled airline turns, government and royal movements, and charter uplifts, all loaded on board rather than handed off at the aircraft steps.

How Aviation Catering Operates in Greece
Greek traffic runs heavily seasonal, with island stations such as Mykonos, Santorini Island, Kos Island, Rhodes and Zakynthos carrying summer charter and leisure schedules alongside their year-round narrow-body traffic. Spata-Artemida, Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Kalamata carry the wide-body reference code and the runway length to take long-haul metal, and it is these stations that anchor airline catering companies operating across the country. Patras, Kavala, Mytilene, Alexandroupolis, Andravida, Souda, Preveza and Nea Anchialos extend that wide-body capability into regional and state aviation, each holding its own runway and stand data rather than a shared national figure. A request enters through the ops desk with flight number, ETA, aircraft type and pax and crew count, and is built against ground handling services already in place at the station, then loaded directly on board rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft. Cold chain is held from the production kitchen through to boarding, across the airport catering network that supports both scheduled airline turns and one-off charter and government movements. FBOs recorded at Spata-Artemida, Thessaloniki and Kerkyra extend that same uplift into business aviation without a second supply chain.

Ordering Airline Catering: Greece
Send the request to the ops desk with flight number, ETA, aircraft type, stand where known, and pax and crew count per cabin, along with any special meal codes. Airline catering services here are built directly against that data, whether the movement is a scheduled turn, a diversion, a charter or a government flight. Include the station and, for private aviation, the FBO. Once the load is confirmed against aircraft type and cabin configuration, it is built and staged for hi-loader boarding straight to the galley door. For a quote, submit the same detail through the request form and it is routed to the station covering that field.
Greek Airline Catering Questions
What Ops Desks Ask About Greece
Ask operations directly →Which Greek airports take wide-body catering uplifts?
Spata-Artemida, Thessaloniki, Patras, Kavala, Alexandroupolis, Andravida, Souda, Preveza, Nea Anchialos, Kalamata, Rhodes and Heraklion all carry the wide-body aerodrome reference code. Spata-Artemida holds the longest runway at 4000 metres.
Can catering be loaded directly onto the aircraft rather than left at the steps?
Yes, hi-loader boarding takes the load straight to the galley door at stations equipped for it, rather than handing off at the foot of the aircraft. This is standard practice across our wide-body stations.
Do you cater private jets as well as scheduled airlines in Greece?
Yes, our private-jet branch serves the FBOs recorded on these fields, including Universal Aviation, Signature Aviation and Jetset Services at Spata-Artemida and Signature Aviation at Thessaloniki, on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
What information do you need to quote a Greek uplift?
Flight number, ETA, aircraft type, stand where known, pax and crew count per cabin, and any special meal codes. Send this to the ops desk for government, charter or scheduled airline movements alike.
Do island stations take the same catering standard as Athens?
Yes, the same HACCP, cold chain and cleared-personnel standard applies at every published station, whether it carries a narrow-body or wide-body reference code.
