Airline & VIP flight catering — Guernsey

Airline, VIP Flight and Private Jet Catering in Guernsey

Guernsey handles airline catering and VIP flight catering across its stations, with uplift loaded directly on board rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Saint Peter Port carries the island's longest runway at 1583 metres, anchoring wide-body and narrow-body ramp access for scheduled, charter and government movements alike.

How Aviation Catering Operates in Guernsey

Guernsey's airside traffic runs through Saint Peter Port and Saint Anne, two narrow-body fields that between them carry the island's scheduled, charter and general aviation movements. Saint Peter Port holds the longer runway at 1583 metres and is where ASG Flight Support Ltd operates as the resident FBO, giving an ops desk a single point of contact for ground handling services on that field. Saint Anne runs a shorter 877-metre strip and takes the same narrow-body reference code, supporting island-hopping and light charter traffic without the throughput of its neighbour.

An uplift request into either field moves the same way: flight number, ETA, pax and crew count reach the kitchen, the specification is built and loaded to the tray, and the cold chain holds it until it is boarded at the aircraft rather than staged at the foot of the steps. Airline catering companies working these islands plan around narrow-body reference codes on both fields, which sets the galley and stand configuration for every movement.

Government, charter and private aviation traffic share the same kitchen capacity and the same compliance regime as scheduled carriers, so a request is scoped once and routed to whichever station the flight plan calls for.

Ordering Airline Catering: Guernsey

Send flight number, ETA, aircraft type and stand, together with pax and crew counts per cabin and any special meal codes, to the ops desk covering the station handling the movement. This lets the kitchen build the specification to the correct galley configuration before the load is staged for boarding. Airline catering services here are scoped from these details alone, so a complete first message avoids a second round of questions. For government, royal or charter routing, the same information is used, with a named coordinator added to the request. Submit the details through the quote request to begin.

Guernsey Catering Questions

What Ops Desks Ask About Guernsey Uplifts

Ask operations directly →
Which Guernsey airports does AERO GOURMET serve?

Saint Peter Port and Saint Anne are both served, each carrying its own runway and FBO data. Saint Peter Port's 1583-metre runway and resident FBO support the larger share of scheduled and charter movements.

Can Guernsey stations handle wide-body charter movements?

Both published stations carry a narrow-body aerodrome reference code, which sets the aircraft types and stand configuration available. Charter and ACMI requests are scoped against that code before a load is planned.

Is government and royal flight catering available in Guernsey?

Yes, government, state and royal flight catering runs through the same kitchens as scheduled airline work, with cleared personnel and a named coordinator assigned to the movement.

Does private jet catering in Guernsey use the same kitchens as airline catering?

Yes, business aviation catering is delivered through our dedicated private-jet branch to Guernsey's FBOs, including ASG Flight Support Ltd, using the same cold chain and paperwork as any airline uplift.

What do I need to send to request a quote?

Flight number, ETA, aircraft type, stand, pax and crew counts per cabin and any special meal codes. This is enough for the kitchen to build a specification against the correct station.
