Kerkyra (LGKR / CFU): airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering
CFU (IATA) · LGKR (ICAO)
With one runway of 2375 metres governing every rotation at Kerkyra, the traffic works a single narrow-body reference code, and inflight catering here is planned stand by stand rather than assumed. AERO GOURMET runs in-flight catering off that same rhythm, boarding wide-body-style volume through hi-loader access to galley height for every uplift dispatched to the aircraft.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Kerkyra
Per departure, the sequence at Kerkyra runs from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door, with ramp access held on our own clearance rather than handed off at the perimeter. Every catering uplift crosses the apron on that same route, checked at the same two points regardless of which stand is worked that day. Nothing about the sequence changes for a diversion or a late change of gate at CFU: the route is fixed, only the timing moves.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Kerkyra sit screening, an escort and apron traffic that shifts hour to hour, and we plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three rather than the average. The galley catering that leaves the kitchen is sealed before the cart moves, and the seal is checked again at the aircraft, so the chain of custody has exactly two names on it between production and handover. Temperatures are logged at both points, and the signature that closes the load is the same one that opened the galley for boarding.
One seal, one signature, one route from the kitchen to the galley door.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for CFU
The flight kitchen that provisions airport catering at Kerkyra runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding every stand this field works. HACCP governs the line from intake to sealed cart, and the cold chain is held from the larder to the ramp without a break in custody. Airport catering at Kerkyra and the flight kitchen at CFU share the same standard, so a scheduled rotation and a one-off charter leave the same door.
The team that handles government flight catering at Kerkyra is the same named crew every rotation, not a roster drawn fresh for each movement. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on a fixed access list, and each is trained to the household service standards a protocol desk expects. That continuity is what a returning delegation notices: the same faces, the same paperwork, the same catering at CFU each time.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Kerkyra (CFU)
VVIP catering to a written specification at LGKR
Menus at Kerkyra are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, drawing on Greek produce where the season allows it: island cheese, orchard fruit and fish landed locally sit alongside a standing tray-set specification. Inflight catering here moves from a scheduled main-cabin run to a full VVIP layout without changing kitchens or crews, only the specification pulled from the file. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, never assumed from a general note. The same production line that boards a narrow-body charter also plates a protocol departure, on the same morning if the schedule asks it.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Kerkyra are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed list, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request and filed against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is signed off before it leaves the kitchen, so the presentation on board matches what protocol approved on paper.
Business cabins
Business cabins at CFU take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the day, boxed in tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the duty roster, so cabin crew meals never share a cart with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Kerkyra, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes rather than a shortened list. Each dietary set is produced on a separate line from the main cabin run and sealed before it joins the cart, so inflight catering for one passenger never touches the wider load.

Flight catering airside delivery at LGKR / CFU
One narrow-body reference code governs every stand at Kerkyra, which keeps the traffic to a single class of aircraft rather than a mixed wide-body programme, and that in turn keeps the catering plan to one loading pattern repeated stand by stand. A scheduled rotation, a charter and an occasional government movement share the same apron, so the documentation for each has to be settled before the cart moves rather than sorted out on the ramp.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, loaded airside under our own clearance and handed over at the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at LGKR and airline catering in Greece more broadly run on that same principle: ramp access is held on our own badges, not borrowed at the gate, so the handover is never delayed waiting on someone else's paperwork. Aviation catering at CFU and airport catering in Greece both answer to the one coordinator on duty that day.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, and inflight catering in Kerkyra closes on a handover that both sides sign.
Charter flight catering and state missions at CFU
01
Government and state flight catering at LGKR
A 2375 metre runway is enough to hold a protocol movement to the same stand used for scheduled traffic, so a delegation is worked into the existing rotation rather than given a separate one. Government flight catering at Kerkyra then rests on the paperwork: security-cleared staff, a protocol file documented per passenger, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state movement.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at CFU
Our kitchen holds a single specification on file between movements, built for the narrow-body reference code this field is cleared to, so a returning household finds the same standard each time rather than one rebuilt from scratch. Royal flight catering at Kerkyra covers private airliners on request, with halal and other royal household requirements documented in the same file.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Kerkyra
A narrow-body reference code sets the stand this traffic works from, and charter flight catering at Kerkyra is planned against that same stand for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions alike. Charter flight catering at CFU delivers a full multi-class uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged to the order the galleys are fitted.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LGKR
A single narrow-body reference code has to be worked around on a mixed schedule, so a diversion or a late add-on is sequenced into the same stand rotation rather than given a stand of its own. Ad hoc airline catering at CFU covers that outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering, AOG included, across a multi-leg day without a change of tray standard.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at CFU
A narrow-body reference code also covers most business jets working this field, so the same ramp access that boards a scheduled departure reaches the GA terminal without a separate clearance. Private jet catering at Kerkyra is run through our dedicated branch, delivered to the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.

“For a team flight from Kerkyra (CFU/LGKR), we booked tour operator charter catering with several dietary requests. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. Very practical for team and group charter work. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Mauro — Operations Control Officer
“We needed humanitarian flight catering at Kerkyra (CFU/LGKR) for a time-sensitive operation. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. We appreciated the flexibility. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Sara — VIP Aviation Coordinator
“Our freighter crew needed freighter crew meals at Kerkyra (CFU/LGKR) during a short turnaround. Meals arrived on time and were packed practically for a working crew rather than over-presented. We would use them again for another cargo sector. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Kerkyra (CFU)
Technical stop catering questions at Kerkyra (CFU)
What operations gets asked every week about Kerkyra.
Ask operations directly →How far does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal in Kerkyra?
Our clearance covers the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike, so FBO catering runs on the same cold chain and paperwork as a scheduled uplift, with no separate booking route.
Does airline catering at Kerkyra International Airport reach the aircraft airside?
Every load leaves our kitchen by sealed cart and reaches the aircraft airside delivery under our own clearance, boarded to the galley door by hi-loader rather than handed off at the perimeter.
CFU: are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced on site?
The cart that carries the load also carries the paperwork: halal and kosher sets and the full range of SPML codes are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before sealing.
LGKR: how far in advance does a booking need to be placed, and how late can the specification change?
There is a standing lead time for a first booking and a shorter window for a change once the order is on file, so a specification amendment is handled without reopening the whole booking.
Whose budget decides what airline catering costs at Kerkyra?
For every quotation the cost turns on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window worked, never on a published price list, and the desk returns a figure once those three are known.
At which point does a VIP, VVIP or government flight move onto protocol handling at Kerkyra Airport?
The first step is the protocol file itself: once it is opened, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run on security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift signed off before it leaves the kitchen.
