Aviation catering — Caselle, Italy
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Caselle (LIPX / VRN)
VRN (IATA) · LIPX (ICAO)
At a wide-body reference field with a 3068 m runway, Caselle takes multi-class widebodies onto stands built for hi-loader boarding, so a full three-cabin uplift reaches galley height without ever sitting at the foot of the aircraft. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and aviation catering off one ops desk here, with in-flight catering staged from a kitchen close enough to the ramp to hold the loading window on scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet movements.

Inflight catering order window at LIPX / VRN
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Caselle, Italy
The loading window at Caselle tracks the sealed cart from our kitchen to the galley door, not an estimate quoted in advance. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the catering uplift crosses the apron on a route we control rather than one handed to a third party. Every stage between the kitchen seal and the aircraft door is logged against the aircraft it is destined for.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Caselle sit screening, escorted movement and apron traffic, and the catering uplift is planned against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it. The wide-body reference code that governs this field means the convoy itself, not the galley catering, is the variable we manage on every rotation, with chain of custody held from seal to signature.
Temperatures are logged when the load is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at handover to the aircraft, closing a record that travels with the uplift. A named signature closes each load at the galley door, confirming what left the kitchen is what boarded.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley door.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at LIPX / VRN
The flight kitchen behind Caselle runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, built to HACCP and to a cold chain that holds from the kitchen seal to the galley door. Airport catering in Italy sourced through this facility covers airline, VIP and charter volumes from the same production line, so a peak wave and a single royal rotation are worked by the same cleared team rather than two separate operations. Airport catering in Caselle depends on that single line holding its temperature and its documentation across every load leaving the flight kitchen at VRN.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, carried on the access list rather than rotated in ad hoc. Security clearance is held on file for each member before the first load leaves the kitchen, and the same crew is trained to royal household standards for repeat movements. Chain of custody runs with them from the sealed uplift at the kitchen to the signature at the aircraft door.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LIPX
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Caselle
Menus for Caselle are written to the cabin and to the mission rather than to a fixed list, drawing on Italy's dairy, cheese and orchard produce where the season allows it. Inflight catering here runs from passenger meal boxes through to VVIP menus on the same production line, adjusted for a scheduled turnaround, a diversion or a full charter rotation. Every tray set carries a documented allergen, halal, kosher or medical specification labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. Seasonal produce sits alongside a standing specification, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard each time it lands.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LIPX are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set list. VIP flight catering here follows the same standing order across repeat rotations, so the presentation does not vary from one departure to the next.

Business cabins
Business cabins out of Caselle run on multi-choice hot service sized to the galley fitted to each aircraft type, boxed as oven-ready tray sets rather than plated to order. Crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately from the passenger load, with cabin crew meals built to the roster rather than to the cabin count.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at VRN are documented per passenger rather than left to a standing list, covering household, religious and medical sets produced on a separate line before sealing. Halal and kosher sets are built against the full range of IATA special meal codes, and inflight catering here keeps that line apart from the main production run throughout.

Cold chain and HACCP for aircraft catering at LIPX
Flight catering airside delivery at Caselle (VRN)
Caselle carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body reference code, which means a state delegation, a charter peak and a repeat rotation are worked through the same stands rather than segregated by type. That mix turns a delegation into a documentation task and a peak wave into a capacity task, both run from the same kitchen and the same ops desk. Airline catering and airport catering at LIPX are planned stand by stand, with airside delivery held on our own clearance rather than routed through a separate handler.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, taken to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the full sequence. Aviation catering at Caselle and inflight catering in Italy both run off that same route, logged from the kitchen seal to the aircraft door.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover confirming what boarded matches what left the kitchen, and in-flight catering at LIPX is held to that commitment on every rotation regardless of traffic type.

Good attention to the operational side of catering. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

“For a changing schedule at Caselle (VRN/LIPX), we needed flexible outstation. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. Good support for a changing flight schedule. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
