Wide-body & private jet
From a light jet to a full 777, one caterer, one standard
Aviation catering — Siglufjörður, Iceland
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Siglufjörður (BISI / SIJ)
SIJ (IATA) · BISI (ICAO)
A single narrow-body reference code governs the stand at Siglufjörður, and it is the fact that shapes every uplift booked here. Inflight catering for scheduled, charter, government and private movements is boarded airside, cart to galley, with in-flight catering handled by hi-loader wherever the wide-body specification calls for it.

Hi-loader boarding for inflight catering at Siglufjörður
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Inflight catering order window at SIJ
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Siglufjörður, Iceland
The loading window at Siglufjörður runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the single stand this field works. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than requested on the day, which keeps the catering uplift moving on the apron instead of waiting at a gate. That sequence is the same whether the movement is scheduled, charter or government.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Siglufjörður sits a short convoy, a security screening point and whatever apron traffic the single runway is handling that hour. Chain of custody starts at the sealed cart and does not break until a signature is taken at the galley, with an escort covering the run in between. Galley catering is logged twice: once when the load is sealed, once at handover, and the catering uplift does not leave the kitchen until both are recorded against the same sheet.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing in between.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for BISI
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at BISI / SIJ
Airport catering at Siglufjörður is produced off one kitchen route rather than several, which keeps hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line answering to a single HACCP standard. That single line is what airport catering at SIJ depends on when a narrow-body rotation turns quickly and the tray sets have to be ready before the stand is called. The same flight kitchen at Siglufjörður supplies scheduled, charter and government movements from that one production run.
The team that handles government flight catering at Siglufjörður is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying a current security clearance and standing on the access list rather than being cleared case by case. They work to a written household standard held on file between movements, covering the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift as closely as the catering at SIJ itself. Nothing on that file changes without the same crew signing it again.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at BISI
VVIP catering to a written specification at Siglufjörður
Menus at Siglufjörður are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle, drawing on Iceland's dairy, fish and seasonal produce where a route allows local sourcing. Inflight catering here moves from a First and Business specification through to a main-cabin tray set without changing the standard it is checked against. Every dietary and religious set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is loaded, not assembled on request at the aircraft. That documentation travels with the uplift as one sheet, matched against the loading plan at the galley door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Siglufjörður are plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single cycle. VIP flight catering here is checked against that specification before it leaves the kitchen, and the presentation is filed against the standing order for the next rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at BISI are worked as multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, with tray sets and meal boxes staged by row. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so galley loading and crew catering never share a cart.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Siglufjörður are documented per passenger rather than assumed, covering halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes on a single sheet. Produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, inflight catering here keeps religious, medical and household sets apart from the standard cabin run.

Airside airport catering at Siglufjörður (SIJ)
Siglufjörður works a single narrow-body stand against one runway, so a scheduled rotation, a charter and a government movement are never separated by capacity, only by sequence: each is worked in its turn against the same loading sheet. That traffic profile turns catering into a documentation problem before it is a volume one, because the same stand has to be cleared, reset and re-badged between movements rather than run in parallel.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by cart from our kitchen, escorted across the apron to the stand and boarded at the galley door under our own ramp access rather than a shared handling slot. Airport catering at BISI is planned rotation by rotation rather than by a fixed timetable, and airline catering at BISI is boarded by the same crew that sealed it. Aviation catering in Siglufjörður and in-flight catering at BISI answer to one duty roster, not several.
One coordinator holds the loading sheet for each rotation, the carts stay sealed until the handover signature, and that signature is what closes the file.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Siglufjörður
01
Government and state flight catering at SIJ
Against a single narrow-body stand, a delegation movement is worked as one file rather than one flight: government flight catering at Siglufjörður documents the protocol paperwork per passenger before the cart is sealed. Security-cleared staff handle the load from kitchen to galley door, and a head of state movement is worked to the same closed file as any other government rotation here.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Siglufjörður
Loading a private airliner on a single narrow-body stand means sequencing the royal household file before the aircraft is called, not after: royal flight catering at Siglufjörður is held to a written specification kept on file between movements. BBJ and ACJ profiles are worked to that same household standard, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request and sealed with the rest of the VVIP uplift.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at BISI
The runway here runs to 1084 metres, which sets the narrow-body charter and ACMI traffic this stand takes and the tempo a group movement is worked at. Charter flight catering at Siglufjörður for wet-lease operators and special missions is counted against the loading sheet before boarding, with charter flight catering in Iceland routed through the same kitchen and the same crew.

Airline and ad hoc catering at SIJ
A narrow-body movement at Siglufjörður is boarded from the reference code held for this field, and that code is what lets a scheduled carrier, a diversion or a technical stop use the same stand without a change of method. Outstation catering and diversion catering at SIJ run off the same duty roster as ad hoc airline catering, with technical stop catering and AOG handled on the same multi-leg basis, sealed here, in Siglufjörður, before departure.

Private jet and FBO catering at Siglufjörður
Our kitchen works the same 1084 metre stand for business aviation as for a scheduled narrow-body movement, sealing the load before it crosses the apron to the GA terminal at Siglufjörður. Private jet catering at BISI reaches the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering handled by the crew that already holds our ramp access.

“We requested galley ready meals at Siglufjörður (SIJ/BISI) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Very cabin-friendly catering. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Lea — Flight Operations Coordinator
“For a changing schedule at Siglufjörður (SIJ/BISI), we needed flexible outstation. Communication between dispatch, handling, and catering was clear throughout. That operational understanding was the biggest advantage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Nathan — Airline Dispatch Manager
“We used the team for business jet catering at Siglufjörður (SIJ/BISI) on a VIP trip. The food arrived fresh and well presented, with clear labels and packaging that actually worked in our galley. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Airline catering services FAQ for BISI
Diversion catering and ramp questions at BISI
What operations gets asked every week about Siglufjörður.
Ask operations directly →Do you produce halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes for flights through Siglufjörður airport?
Yes, halal, kosher and the full range of SPML codes are produced against a documented order and sealed as a separate line before loading. Special meals are matched to the passenger manifest, not assembled on request at the aircraft.
Can SIJ take a change to the specification close to departure?
A short window before departure still allows a specification change, though how far in advance the order is placed decides how much of the loading window is left to work with. Last minute airline catering is handled where the change reaches the kitchen before the cart is sealed, not after.
Given the single stand at BISI, is private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
There is one ramp route from our kitchen to every position on this field, so private jet catering and FBO catering both move on it. The GA terminal receives the same sealed cart and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, on the same cold chain.
At what point does airline catering reach the aircraft in Siglufjörður?
The sequence starts at the sealed cart in our kitchen, moves under escort across the apron, and ends with airside delivery to the galley door on the single stand this field works. Where the aircraft specification calls for it, boarding is worked from a hi-loader rather than a ground cart.
