Aviation catering — Ioannina, Greece
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Ioannina (LGIO / IOA)
IOA (IATA) · LGIO (ICAO)
A 2400 m runway and a single narrow-body reference code set what boards at Ioannina: scheduled, charter, VIP and government movements, worked from one ramp desk. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here run on hi-loader boarding to galley height, with every uplift staged for airside handover rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

Airport catering order window at Ioannina, Greece
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Ioannina airport
Ramp access governs the loading window at Ioannina: nothing is handed over at the foot of the aircraft, every catering uplift moves by sealed cart to the galley door. The route runs from our kitchen across the apron to the assigned stand, timed rather than guessed. At Ioannina that sequence holds whatever the movement type, scheduled, charter or government.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Ioannina sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and the plan for every catering uplift is built against the worst of those three, not the best. Chain of custody starts at the sealed cart and does not break until a named handover on the ramp. Each galley catering load is temperature-logged at sealing and again at handover, with the seal number carried on the paperwork that travels with it. The signature at the aircraft closes the record, not the departure of the truck.
One sealed cart, one named handover, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for LGIO / IOA
Airline food supplier crews cleared for Ioannina (IOA)
The flight kitchen behind Ioannina runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standards from intake to sealed cart. Airport catering here is planned against the single narrow-body reference code held at the field, which sets how a rotation is sequenced rather than how much can be produced. That structure is what lets airport catering at Ioannina move from cold chain to galley door without a break in the record.
The team behind government flight catering at Ioannina is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster assembled per booking. Security clearance is held on file, access to the kitchen and the ramp is limited to that list, and each member is trained on the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks before anything else.
VIP flight catering menus for Ioannina departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Ioannina, Greece
Menus at Ioannina are written to the cabin and to the mission, not to a fixed cycle repeated regardless of who is on board. Local produce from the surrounding region of Greece, dairy, fish and orchard fruit, is worked into the specification where the season allows it, alongside a standing set built for repeat rotations. Inflight catering at LGIO is documented per passenger for allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements, labelled and tracked by cabin. The same sealed process governs a single passenger meal box and a full three-cabin load.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Ioannina are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same record each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LGIO run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets ready to load. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel separately, boxed to the roster rather than the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Ioannina, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to those codes is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves it.

Flight catering airside delivery at LGIO
Ioannina takes scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body reference code, which makes documentation the constraint rather than volume: a delegation needs its protocol file complete before wheels-up, and a repeat rotation needs the same specification held week to week. Aviation catering at Ioannina is planned stand by stand rather than in bulk, so the sequencing of each movement matters as much as what is loaded.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the assigned stand by sealed cart, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than handed over at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the apron and airside delivery to the stand are worked from the same ramp desk, with our own badges holding access rather than a shared pass. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and airport catering at IOA all run off that one route.
On every movement we commit one named coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover at the aircraft, so the record closes the same way whatever the mission type.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Ioannina, Greece
01
Government and state flight catering at IOA
At Ioannina, the narrow-body reference code governs how a delegation movement is sequenced against the field's other traffic rather than how large the party can be. Government flight catering here means the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the loading crew, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, extended the same way to a head of state movement as to a smaller official party.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Ioannina
A single narrow-body reference code at LGIO means a household movement is worked around the same stand as everything else on the schedule, not a dedicated apron of its own. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, extended to private airliners such as a BBJ or ACJ on a wide-body VIP configuration, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at LGIO
2400 metres of runway is what a charter or ACMI movement is cleared against at Ioannina, and that figure sets which wide-body charter work can route through rather than the stand count. Charter flight catering here covers wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out; charter flight catering stays on that same sheet for every leg of a multi-leg rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at IOA
A narrow-body reference code at Ioannina is what a scheduled or ad hoc airline movement is boarded against, and it is the reason a single stand can still take diversion and technical stop work without changing the loading method. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering for carriers running LGIO as a line station, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, with AOG handled the same way across a multi-leg rotation. Crew meals at Ioannina travel on the same roster, boxed separately from the passenger load.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Ioannina
Our crews work the same 2400 m runway that clears scheduled and charter traffic to also cover business aviation movements at Ioannina, on the ramp shared with everything else on the schedule. Private jet catering here is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal by our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift: FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run off that one process.

“Our team used the service at Ioannina (IOA/LGIO) for delegation flight catering with strict timing and handling requirements. The team understood the need for confidentiality and kept the order organized despite late passenger and dietary changes. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Everything arrived neatly packed, easy to identify in the galley, and consistent with the presentation we requested. A very smooth experience for the cabin team. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Paolo — Cargo Station Manager
“For a high-volume passenger flight at Ioannina (IOA/LGIO), we needed reliable hajj charter catering. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. The operation ran smoothly from order to uplift. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Ioannina
Technical stop catering questions at Ioannina
What operations gets asked every week about Ioannina.
Ask operations directly →Do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at Ioannina, and under what protocol?
Yes, under a documented protocol: VIP flight catering and government flight catering are handled by a named, security-cleared team with the file completed before wheels-up.
What lead time does IOA need for an order, and how late can the specification change?
We ask for the booking as early as the schedule allows so the loading window can be planned; how far in advance depends on the mission, but last minute airline catering changes are worked right up to the sealed-cart cut-off wherever the specification allows it.
With one narrow-body reference code governing the stand, how much does airline catering cost at LGIO?
There is no published price list: airline catering cost depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a quotation against those three.
Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Ioannina?
Yes, private jet catering reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal from our kitchen, with FBO catering run on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
