Aviation catering — Comiso, Italy
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Comiso (LICB / CIY)
CIY (IATA) · LICB (ICAO)
Comiso holds a narrow-body aerodrome reference code on its single 2460 m runway, and we work that stand with hi-loader boarding straight to galley height rather than a trolley left on the tarmac. Our crews run inflight catering and in-flight catering through one ops desk, so a wide-body diversion or a scheduled uplift is loaded the same way, every time.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at CIY
The catering uplift at Comiso starts sealed at our kitchen and ends signed at the galley door, with nothing left to estimate in between. Ramp access at the single CIY stand is held on our own badges, so the cart moves from apron edge to aircraft without a second handover to negotiate. That single-stand discipline is what keeps the loading window repeatable on a narrow-body reference code field.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Comiso sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and we plan the galley catering uplift against the worst case of all three rather than the average one. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the galley, with nothing handled off that record. Every cart is logged in and logged out, so a delayed rotation still lands on a documented, traceable catering uplift instead of a guess.
One sealed cart, one signed handover, from our kitchen to the galley door.

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at LICB
The flight kitchen at CIY runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from first prep to final seal. Airport catering at Comiso depends on that single site rather than a network of subcontracted kitchens, so the cold chain is unbroken from the walk-in to the cart. Airport catering at LICB is produced, checked and sealed before it ever reaches the apron.
The team behind government flight catering at Comiso is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for a single movement. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the airside route, and is trained to the household paperwork that travels with a sealed load. That continuity is what keeps catering at LICB accountable movement after movement, not just on the day it is checked.
VIP flight catering menus for Comiso, Italy departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Comiso airport
Inflight catering at Comiso is written to the cabin it boards and the mission it serves, from a single main-deck tray to a full multi-class rotation. Sicilian produce sits alongside international standards on the same specification: island dairy, citrus and fish worked into a menu built around what a galley can actually run, not around a printed brochure. Every set travels with its allergen, halal, kosher and medical documentation labelled per passenger and per cabin, checked against the manifest before the cart is sealed. Nothing boards at CIY without that paperwork attached to it.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Comiso are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a printed menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation reads the same brief every time it lands.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LICB run a multi-choice hot service in oven-ready tray sets sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the duty roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew are never working from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Comiso are documented per passenger before the cart leaves the kitchen: household and medical requirements filed against the manifest, plus halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Every one of those sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before inflight catering ever reaches the ramp.

Flight catering airside delivery at Comiso
Comiso runs scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single narrow-body-rated stand, which turns every peak arrival into a sequencing problem rather than a capacity one: one aircraft loaded fully before the next is worked. That single-stand pattern means a delegation movement and a routine rotation share the same ramp slot on different days, so documentation and repetition both have to be planned against the same fixed point.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to that one stand by hi-loader, boarded straight to galley height with airside delivery covering the last leg from apron edge to aircraft door. Airline catering in Comiso, alongside inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering in Italy, runs off the one ops desk that also tracks the ramp slot, so the loading crew and the flight schedule are never working from separate information. Airport catering in Comiso is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, because there is only the one stand to plan.
What we commit to on this station is one named coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the galley door before departure.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Comiso airport

Government and state flight catering at Comiso
A narrow-body reference code aircraft still carries a head of state delegation through LICB on the same single stand as scheduled traffic, and government flight catering here is worked to that constraint rather than around it. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

“Our sports movement through Comiso (CIY/LICB) required sports team flight meals on a tight schedule. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. A good partner for sports charter operations. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at Comiso, Italy
Pilot meals and loading questions at Comiso, Italy
What operations gets asked every week about Comiso.
Ask operations directly →Which factors set airline catering cost at CIY?
Cost is set by the loader and cart configuration for that rotation, along with cabin count, specification depth and the loading window requested. We publish no fixed price list; the desk returns a quotation once those three are confirmed.
Does Comiso's single stand change how far in advance an order must be placed at LICB?
Every rotation through the one stand at LICB is worked to a booked loading window, so lead time is confirmed at the time of slot allocation rather than left open. Each specification can still be amended closer to departure, within the limits of that same window.
When is VIP flight catering handled under full protocol in Comiso?
When a movement is flagged as VIP, VVIP or government on the schedule, the file is documented per passenger and handled by security-cleared staff from the point the uplift is sealed. Protocol travels with the load itself, not as a separate step added later.
What does airside delivery look like at Comiso Airport?
We load directly from our kitchen to the aircraft by hi-loader, boarding to galley height rather than leaving carts at the foot of the stairs. Airline catering at Comiso is delivered fully airside, with the final handover made at the galley door.
Where is private jet catering delivered for movements through CIY?
A signed handover record accompanies every load, whether it goes to the GA terminal or to an FBO on the field. Private jet catering and FBO catering at CIY run on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, regardless of which apron the aircraft parks on.
