Aviation catering — Decimomannu, Italy
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Decimomannu (LIED / DCI)
DCI (IATA) · LIED (ICAO)
A wide-body aerodrome reference code at Decimomannu sets the sequencing problem before the first cart moves: every uplift is planned around one stand and one hi-loader run, not around a bank of gates. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, boarding three cabins by hi-loader to galley height, airside, on one ops desk.

Aviation catering lead times and loading window at Decimomannu (DCI)
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at LIED
From the seal at our kitchen to the signature at the galley door, the catering uplift for Decimomannu is planned around one stand and one hi-loader run rather than a bank of gates. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the apron sequence does not wait on a shared escort roster. The route is fixed before the cart leaves the kitchen, and it is worked to that plan every rotation.
Between the kitchen and the single stand worked at Decimomannu sit screening, an escort and the apron traffic of the day, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst of the three rather than the average. A convoy delayed at the checkpoint costs the loading window before it costs the food, which is why the escort is booked ahead of the catering uplift and not alongside it. Temperature is logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and again at handover on the stand, and the load carries one signature through that whole chain of custody, from the galley door back to the person who sealed it.
One coordinator, one sealed cart, one signature from kitchen door to galley door.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Decimomannu airport
The flight kitchen behind Decimomannu runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to feed a wide-body rotation rather than a single narrow-body turn. Airport catering at DCI follows HACCP procedure from intake to seal, and airport catering at Decimomannu is planned against the one stand this field works rather than a bank of gates. The same kitchen feeds scheduled, charter and government movements off one production line, sized to the aircraft this reference code actually takes.
Government flight catering at Decimomannu is handled by the same named team on every rotation: security clearance on file, each name on the access list, and each one trained to the household service standards a sealed uplift travels under. That team, not a rotating pool, signs the chain of custody from the kitchen seal to the handover on the stand. The roster does not change because the mission does; the paperwork that travels with it does.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LIED / DCI
VVIP catering written per mission at Decimomannu (DCI)
Menus at Decimomannu are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a one-off charter draw on the same kitchen without one displacing the other. Sourcing leans on the produce of the region around Decimomannu, dairy, orchard fruit and fish worked into the specification rather than named as a dish. Every set is documented per passenger and per cabin, with allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements logged before the cart is sealed. Inflight catering here answers to that written specification, not to a rotating chef's list, so the same standard holds whether the aircraft is on its home rotation or diverted in for the day.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Decimomannu are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a set cycle. VIP flight catering here is documented per passenger, so the presentation on the tray matches the standing order exactly, rotation after rotation at LIED.
Business cabins
Business cabins at DCI take multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, tray sets and meal boxes staged in the order the cabin boards. Crew meals at Decimomannu are boxed apart from the passenger load, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept on separate manifests so the roster clears without delaying the cabin.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Decimomannu are documented per passenger rather than left to a verbal note, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the main load. The full range of IATA special meal codes is worked from that same line, so inflight catering here covers a household, religious or medical requirement without reworking the rest of the manifest.

Airside airport catering at DCI
A single wide-body stand and two runways set the traffic profile at Decimomannu: this is a field built around one aircraft at a time rather than a bank of simultaneous departures, so a delegation movement is a documentation problem here as much as a loading one, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition problem worked to the same sheet every time.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to that single stand by sealed cart, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew holding the ramp access through the apron traffic of the day. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering at Decimomannu all run off that one route and one ops desk, whatever the mission on the tail.
Airline catering at DCI is committed to one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover, so airport catering at Decimomannu carries the same chain of custody whether the rotation is scheduled, ad hoc or diverted in for the day.
Commercial aviation catering and VVIP missions at Decimomannu
01
Government and state flight catering at LIED
Our kitchen works to the same 2985 m runway that clears a wide-body for a delegation movement, holding the protocol file, the sealed uplift and the cleared staff to one sheet at Decimomannu. Government flight catering here documents each passenger's requirement before the cart leaves the kitchen, with security-cleared staff signing the load and a head of state aircraft handled on the same fixed route as any other rotation, never announced ahead of catering at LIED.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at DCI
The 2985 m runway at Decimomannu clears the private airliners this segment flies without a weight restriction on the rotation. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat movements, from a written specification kept on file between them, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request and the royal household's own service order followed rather than a fixed cycle for catering at DCI.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Decimomannu
A wide-body aircraft is what this field's reference code is built to take, and that is what lets ACMI, wet-lease and group charter operators route through Decimomannu rather than around it. Charter flight catering at Decimomannu covers special missions and group movements with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, staged in galley order, and charter flight catering at DCI runs to that same sheet whether the season brings a sports charter or a repatriation flight.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at LIED
A 2985 m runway, long enough to hold wide-body traffic through a full rotation without a weight penalty, is what lets carriers run Decimomannu as an outstation rather than a diversion-only field. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals at DCI boxed apart from the passenger load and crew meals in Decimomannu staged against the same sheet across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at DCI
Across the same wide-body reference code that governs the main stand at Decimomannu, business aviation is worked from the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than from a dedicated bay. Private jet catering in Italy at this station runs through our dedicated business aviation branch, delivered to the ramp handler on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all booked off one desk.

“We used the team at Decimomannu (DCI/LIED) for diverted flight catering after an unexpected operational change. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. Good support when timing is the main pressure point. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Haris — Station Performance Manager
“For an operation away from our normal base, we arranged airline catering at outstations at Decimomannu (DCI/LIED). It felt like working with a regular station supplier even though this was not one of our usual airports. A solid solution for outstation operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Florian — Executive Charter Coordinator
“We compared options for Decimomannu (DCI/LIED) and asked for an airline catering cost per meal. The quote was detailed enough for operations and accounting, but still quick to review. We appreciated the transparency. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Decimomannu airport
Crew meals, lead times and access at LIED / DCI
What operations gets asked every week about Decimomannu.
Ask operations directly →Where does DCI deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
Our despatch record covers every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself, with FBO catering booked off the same desk as an airline uplift so a business jet gets private jet catering on the identical route.
Are halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes produced at LIED, and how are they documented?
The coordinator who seals the main load also signs off the dietary line, so halal, kosher and any SPML code ordered against a booking are produced on a separate run and logged per passenger before either cart leaves the kitchen.
Does Decimomannu require a fixed lead time, and how late can the specification still change?
Every booking carries its own lead time depending on cabin count and mission, and each specification can still be amended close to departure provided the change reaches the desk before the cart is sealed.
Which factors set the airline catering cost at Decimomannu Airport?
The loading sheet drives the quotation: cabin count, tray specification and the loading window booked all feed into a price the desk returns once those three are confirmed, since no fixed list is published.
What does airline catering look like at DCI, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
We load the sealed cart onto a hi-loader and raise it to galley height for airside delivery straight through the aircraft door, rather than leaving trays at the foot of the steps.
When are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered at LIED, and under what protocol?
When a delegation, a royal household or a VVIP charter is confirmed, the same cleared team takes the booking under government flight catering or VIP flight catering protocol, with the file and the sealed uplift documented before departure.
