Aviation catering — Skiathos, Greece
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Skiathos (LGSK / JSI)
JSI (IATA) · LGSK (ICAO)
The 1,628 metre runway at Skiathos governs every rotation that touches its single stand, setting the operating limit for narrow-body movements handled through the field. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader uplift on that same ramp, boarding wide-body-standard tray sets airside so the galley receives a sealed load rather than a delivery left at the foot of the aircraft.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Skiathos (JSI)
Ramp access at Skiathos is what a loading plan is actually built on: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen on a fixed sequence and clears the apron before the aircraft is called to stand. Every catering uplift here is timed against that sequence rather than against the flight schedule alone, so the galley door opens to a load already checked against the manifest. Nothing reaches the aircraft without first crossing that ramp under escort.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Skiathos sit screening, an escort through the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway field, and every catering uplift is planned against the worst of those, not the best. Chain of custody runs on a sealed cart from the moment the galley catering leaves our kitchen to the moment it is signed for at the aircraft door, with nothing opened in between. Temperatures are logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and the load is not released to the ramp until both readings match the record.
One coordinator carries the load from our kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for Skiathos (JSI)

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Skiathos, Greece
Airport catering at Skiathos runs from a single production kitchen holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, rather than from separate units stitched together for each flight. That structure is what lets airport catering here move from a written specification to a sealed tray set without a handoff between kitchens, and it is why HACCP governs the same line whether the order is a scheduled rotation or a single ad hoc uplift. The cold chain is held from the larder to the cart, not just from the cart to the aircraft.
Security clearance sits with a named team at LGSK, not with whoever is on shift that day, and the same crew works every government flight catering rotation that comes through the field. Each member holds a current access list entry, is trained to household service standards for movements that call for them, and signs the paperwork that travels sealed with the uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and catering at LGSK is built to answer it before it is asked.
Halal airline meals and special meals at JSI
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LGSK / JSI
Menus at Skiathos are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than issued from a single fixed list, so a VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu draw on the same kitchen but never the same specification. Produce is drawn from Greek dairy, orchard fruit and fish where the season allows, worked into a plated First and Business service or into a galley-ready tray set depending on the aircraft. Inflight catering here carries a seasonal rotation rather than a static card, reviewed against what the market actually offers that month. Every dietary and religious requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed, so nothing is decided at the galley door.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Skiathos are plated to a written specification rather than a standard tray, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request and filed against the standing order for repeat rotations. VIP flight catering here is checked passenger by passenger before the cart is sealed, not assembled at the aircraft.

Business cabins
Business cabins at JSI take a multi-choice hot service built to galley-ready formats sized for the fitted galley, produced as tray sets rather than a single fixed course. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cockpit and cabin crew are never served from the passenger load.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LGSK are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes alongside household and medical requirements carried for a specific rotation. Inflight catering produced against these codes runs on its own line, apart from the standard cabin service, so a sealed set never mixes with the general load.

Flight catering airside delivery at Skiathos airport
Skiathos runs a single narrow-body stand off one runway, which turns catering planning into a sequencing problem rather than a capacity one: every rotation through that stand is worked to its own slot, with no second position to absorb a delay. Airline catering and aviation catering here are built around that single-stand rhythm, coordinated with ground handling on the apron so the cart is staged before the aircraft is called in.
Inflight catering and in-flight catering reach the aircraft by the same route every time: sealed at our kitchen, escorted across the apron, and boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. Airport catering at Skiathos is planned against that single stand, with ramp access held on our own badges so the load is never waiting on someone else's clearance.
On every rotation through this stand, one coordinator carries the load from kitchen seal to aircraft signature.

“Our flight changed at short notice and we arranged urgent airline catering at Skiathos (JSI/LGSK). Even with the late change, the meals were packed correctly and delivered within the revised window. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Naomi — Outstation Manager
“We used the service at Skiathos (JSI/LGSK) for off-station catering on a station where we do not have our usual suppliers. The team confirmed everything clearly, handled the local coordination, and delivered the order ready for loading. Very useful coverage for smaller or less familiar stations. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Ahmed — Passenger Services Manager
“The operations team needed an airline catering quote for Skiathos (JSI/LGSK) with very little time to decide. The quote was detailed enough for operations and accounting, but still quick to review. The clear communication made the booking easy. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

What operations gets asked every week about Skiathos.
Ask operations directly →When must an order be placed for a rotation through LGSK, and how late can the specification change?
When the aircraft type and cabin count are confirmed, we take the order; lead time depends on the specification, but last minute airline catering can still be boarded up to a fixed cut-off before the sealed cart leaves our kitchen.
Which special meal sets does Skiathos produce, and how are they documented?
The sealed cart carries halal, kosher and the full set of IATA SPML codes on a separate line from the standard cabin service, each set logged per passenger before it leaves our kitchen.
How does Skiathos International Airport handle VIP, VVIP and government flight catering?
Skiathos International Airport routes this work through one named, security-cleared team who work every VIP flight catering and government flight catering rotation under the same protocol file, documented per passenger.
Do you deliver airline catering airside at JSI, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
Yes, by hi-loader to galley height: the sealed cart crosses the apron under escort and boards directly, rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft.
Can airline catering cost be quoted before the rotation at LGSK is confirmed?
Cabin count, specification and the loading window all move the figure, so we publish no price list; our desk returns a quotation once those three are set.
What does private jet catering look like for the FBOs and the GA terminal in Skiathos?
We deliver FBO catering to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same sealed paperwork as an airline uplift.
