Aviation catering — Chios Island, Greece
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Chios Island (LGHI / JKH)
JKH (IATA) · LGHI (ICAO)
A narrow-body reference code sets the aircraft this apron takes, and it fixes how our galley door and hi-loader are staged for every rotation through Chios Island. Inflight catering here runs from a sealed kitchen to the aircraft by uplift, airside, with in-flight catering held to one loading standard across scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Chios Island airport
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at JKH
Ad hoc uplift is what this station is built around: the reference code held at Chios Island fixes the sequence the kitchen works to before ramp access opens on any given rotation. Carts are sealed, loaded to the galley-ready standard and moved under escort to the stand, where cold chain checks run again before the door opens. The catering uplift into the cabin is timed from that seal, not from when the vehicle leaves the yard, so the window we quote is the one the apron actually gives us.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Chios Island sit screening, an escort on the apron and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway field, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of those, not the best. The convoy is the risk in this chain of custody, not the galley catering itself, which is why the route and the timing are fixed before the seal is broken. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the galley door, and the handover carries a signature at both ends.
The convoy is the risk we plan against, not the galley itself.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for LGHI
Airline food supplier crews cleared for LGHI
Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof for the flights we provision through Chios Island, so a delegation order and a scheduled rotation can be built from the same kitchen without either queuing behind the other. Every tray leaving that kitchen is produced to HACCP, and the cold chain is held from the larder to the cart. Airport catering at LGHI and airport catering at Chios Island both run off that single production line rather than a scattered set of stations.
The team that handles government flight catering at Chios Island is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for a single movement. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the apron, and is trained to the household standards that royal and state work carries with it. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift move on short notice without a new team learning the paperwork on the day.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Chios Island, Greece
VVIP catering written per mission at Chios Island airport
Menus at Chios Island are built to the cabin flying that rotation and to the mission behind it, not to a single fixed list repeated regardless of aircraft. Where local produce fits the season, dairy, orchard fruit and fish from the surrounding region are worked into the specification alongside the standard tray sets. Inflight catering at JKH carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, each one labelled per passenger and per cabin rather than left to a generic code. That labelling is what lets a crew match a tray to a seat without a second check at the door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Chios Island are plated to a written specification rather than to a standard tray, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request for the movement it is booked against. VIP flight catering here is filed against that standing order so a repeat rotation is served the same way each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at JKH take multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft on that rotation. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals and pilot meals never share a tray with the passenger service.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Chios Island are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical requirements alongside halal and kosher meals produced against the full range of IATA special meal codes. Each set is built on a separate line and sealed there before it joins the main inflight catering uplift for loading.

Flight catering airside delivery at Chios Island
A single-runway field with a narrow-body reference code, Chios Island takes scheduled, charter and government movements rather than continuous wide-body waves, which makes each rotation a documentation and timing problem more than a volume one. Airline catering at Chios Island is planned rotation by rotation rather than against a bank of parallel stands, and aviation catering at JKH follows the same single-desk process whatever the segment behind the booking.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, escorted across the apron and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at JKH and inflight catering in Chios Island both move through that one route, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than a handler's.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, and the handover at the stand closes the loading sheet before the aircraft is released.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Chios Island

Government and state flight catering at Chios Island
The 1511 metre runway at Chios Island sets which government aircraft this field takes and shapes how our kitchen sequences a delegation order against the rest of the day. Government flight catering here covers state visits and official movements, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement routed through this station.

A private airliner sized to this station's 1511 metre runway can be boarded here under the same household discipline as any other movement, BBJ and ACJ types included among the wide-body VIP work we take.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at JKH
On the single runway at Chios Island, a charter rotation is staged against the same 1511 metre limit that governs every other movement through the field. Charter flight catering at Chios Island covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering built as a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before it leaves the kitchen.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Chios Island
A narrow-body reference code governs every stand at Chios Island, and our kitchen builds its rotation around exactly that constraint rather than a generic schedule. We run ad hoc airline catering for carriers using this field as an outstation, with outstation catering and diversion catering worked off the same duty roster. Technical stop catering and AOG cover the multi-leg rotation, with crew meals in Chios Island and crew meals in Greece boxed to the same standard as the cabin service.

Private jet and FBO catering at LGHI
Any loading plan at Chios Island has to work around a single narrow-body reference code shared by every movement on the field, business aviation included. Private jet catering in Chios Island reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering carried on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“We arranged sports team charter catering for the group at Chios Island (JKH/LGHI) after a late schedule update. They handled the nutrition requests well and kept everything organized for fast distribution onboard. The crew was happy with the organization. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★☆Government flight department
Victor — Government Aviation Liaison
“Our flight through Chios Island (JKH/LGHI) required repatriation flight catering with limited preparation time. The team understood that reliability mattered more than complexity and stayed flexible until uplift. We appreciated the flexibility. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Alice — Flight Services Coordinator
“We used the team at Chios Island (JKH/LGHI) for cargo airline crew catering on a night operation. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. We would use them again for another cargo sector. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at Chios Island, Greece
What operations gets asked every week about Chios Island.
Ask operations directly →When can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at JKH?
When a booking is confirmed, we deliver FBO catering to any FBO on the field and to the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift, with no separate route to arrange.
Is there a lead time for changing an order at LGHI?
The coordinator handling the rotation confirms how far in advance the order needs to be placed and how late a specification can still change; as a rule the earlier a change is flagged, the more of the menu remains open.
Where are halal, kosher and other special meals documented for Chios Island?
Every halal, kosher or other special meal produced under IATA SPML codes is recorded on the loading sheet against the passenger it is built for, so the record travels with the tray rather than sitting separately.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft at Chios Island?
Chios Island takes airline catering by sealed cart from our kitchen to the stand, with airside delivery under escort and boarding by hi-loader to galley height rather than a handoff at the foot of the steps.
What does airline catering cost at JKH?
We price each rotation against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window it is booked into, since no fixed price list applies across such different movements; the desk returns a quotation once those details are confirmed.
