Inflight catering order window for Andravida airport departures
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at PYR
The loading window at Andravida runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the signature at the galley door, with ramp access held on our own badges the whole way. Catering uplift is staged against the apron rather than a clock alone, so the sequence holds even when traffic on the apron shifts. Catering at PYR is measured this way on every rotation, not estimated after the fact.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Andravida sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and the convoy is the risk we plan against, not the food itself. Every catering uplift is routed to clear the worst case for those three, with an escort held on our own badges rather than left to chance on the day. Chain of custody runs the length of that route: the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen, temperature logged at sealing and again at handover, and the load closed with a signature at the aircraft.
One sealed route, one signature, from the kitchen seal to the galley door.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Andravida (PYR) departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for LGAD
The flight kitchen that provisions PYR runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard on every batch it sends to the ramp. Airport catering at Andravida moves as sealed tray sets and passenger meal boxes rather than loose trolleys, with the cold chain held from the production kitchen to the galley door. That single-roof build is what lets airport catering in Greece scale from a routine rotation to a full wide-body cabin without changing kitchens.
The team that handles government flight catering at Andravida is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and works to household standards documented in writing rather than passed on verbally. Chain of custody runs with them from the kitchen door to the aircraft, sealed cart to signature.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Andravida, Greece
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Andravida airport
Inflight catering at Andravida is written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed offer. Greek dairy, orchard fruit, olive oil and fish from the wider region sit inside the specification alongside a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu built for longer rotations. Every set is documented per passenger and per cabin, so a change of mission does not mean a change of kitchen. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are logged against the same passenger record from booking through to boarding.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LGAD are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation on rotation ten matches the presentation on rotation one.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Andravida run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets rather than loose trays. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same uplift, boxed to the roster held for that sector.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at PYR are documented per passenger, covering halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes rather than a shortened list. Every set is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, so inflight catering in Greece carries the same paperwork as the main cabin service it travels beside.

Flight catering airside delivery at Andravida
Andravida carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body stand, and that mix turns each rotation into either a documentation problem, a capacity problem or a repetition problem depending on what lands. A delegation on the apron means the protocol file has to be right before the aircraft blocks in; a charter wave means the kitchen has to hold volume without slowing the loading sequence.
Airline catering and in-flight catering here move by hi-loader from the flight kitchen to the galley door, with ground handling on the apron and airside delivery carried on our own badges rather than left to a third party's schedule. Inflight catering at LGAD and aviation catering at LGAD run off the same ops desk, and airport catering at LGAD is planned against the stand rather than against a generic slot.
On every rotation we commit to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so in-flight catering in Andravida carries the same chain of custody whether the aircraft is a scheduled service or a state movement.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at LGAD
01
Government and state flight catering at PYR
On the wide-body stand at Andravida, a head of state aircraft is worked to the same reference code as any other movement, which is what lets a delegation be planned without a dedicated apron. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official delegations, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and the uplift sealed at LGAD before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Andravida
Loading a private airliner on the single wide-body stand at Andravida means the household specification has to be fixed before the aircraft blocks in, since there is no second stand to absorb a late change. Royal flight catering and VVIP catering here run to that written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LGAD
3139 metres of runway at Andravida clears a full wide-body charter onto the stand without a weight restriction on the load. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group charters, sports team charter and tour operator charter movements, with charter flight catering at LGAD staged as a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before the galleys are laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at PYR
A wide-body movement into Andravida clears the same single reference-code stand whether it operates as a scheduled service or an ad hoc call, which is what lets carriers run this station as an outstation. Ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering here sit on one duty roster, crew meals in Greece boxed to the same roster, AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation, and crew meals at Andravida travel on the same uplift as the cabin load, with ad hoc catering at PYR and ad hoc airline catering in Andravida held to the identical specification.

Private jet and FBO catering at Andravida
Our kitchen provisions the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field at Andravida with the same cold chain used for the wide-body stand next to it. Private jet catering at PYR, FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering here travel on the same paperwork as an airline uplift, coordinated by the same duty roster.
