Aviation catering — Genova, Italy
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Genova (LIMJ / GOA)
GOA (IATA) · LIMJ (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code at Genova sets the loading plan before a single cart moves: cabins are staged against galley height, not delivered kerbside. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader uplift on the ramp itself, boarding wide-body aircraft directly at the galley door rather than at the foot of the stand.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, GOA
Ramp access at Genova is what turns a delivery into a catering uplift: the cart moves from our kitchen door onto the apron under escort, not to a kerb outside the fence. Every stage between the seal and the galley door is logged against the aircraft's own turnaround, not a generic slot. That is the difference a wide-body operator checks before booking this station at all.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Genova sit screening, an escorted convoy and apron traffic that a single runway concentrates rather than spreads out. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the average, because the chain of custody has to hold on the slow day as well as the fast one. Galley catering is sealed at the kitchen, logged again at the aircraft, and the handover carries a signature both ends recognise. Nothing crosses the apron without that seal being checked twice.
The seal that leaves our kitchen is the seal the crew signs for at the galley door.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at LIMJ
Airport catering at Genova runs from a production kitchen built to feed a wide-body rotation rather than a single narrow-body turn: hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof. Every tray leaving that kitchen is worked to HACCP, and the cold chain is held from the moment a dish is plated to the moment it is signed for at the aircraft. Airport catering here is one production line, not a set of separate kitchens working to different standards.
The team behind government flight catering at Genova is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster pulled in for the day. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the apron, and is trained to the household standards a protocol desk expects before it will sign off a delegation. That continuity is what lets a repeat state movement be planned in hours rather than days.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Genova, Italy
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Genova airport
Menus at Genova are written to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted to season: a scheduled turn, a state movement and a group charter do not draw on the same specification even when they share a stand. Where local produce is used, it stays in general terms, drawing on Liguria's dairy, fish and orchard fruit rather than naming a single source. Inflight catering at LIMJ closes on documentation, not presentation: every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. That labelling travels with the tray, not just with the paperwork behind it.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Genova are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the movement, not improvised on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at GOA run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, tray sets and meal boxes staged in the loading sequence.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Genova are documented per passenger before production starts: household and religious sets, medical diets, halal and kosher meals, and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at Genova
Genova's single runway and wide-body reference code together set a traffic profile built on scheduled turns, charter movements and occasional government flights rather than continuous wide-body waves. That mix makes documentation, not volume, the daily discipline: a delegation is a paperwork problem before it is a tray count.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, boarded through the galley door by hi-loader rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering, aviation catering and in-flight catering at Genova all run off that one route, with our own crew on the apron for every stage of the load.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts checked twice and a signed handover at the aircraft, so that airport catering and inflight catering here answer to the same named desk every time.
Scheduled, charter and VVIP catering at LIMJ
01
Government and state flight catering at GOA
Our kitchen holds the same 2915-metre runway's traffic to one coordinated slot, which is what lets a state movement be planned without competing against a wave of scheduled arrivals. Government flight catering at Genova covers delegations, state visits and official movements, with the protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the apron, and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen for any head of state aircraft using this stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Genova
The 2915-metre runway at Genova takes a private airliner on the same terms it takes a scheduled wide-body, without a separate protocol slot to book. Royal flight catering here holds a written household specification on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP airframes, with halal sets and other household dietary requirements produced on request under the same VVIP clearance as the crew on the apron.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LIMJ
A wide-body airframe on an ACMI or wet-lease rotation boards here because the aerodrome's reference code was set for exactly that class of aircraft rather than for narrow-body traffic alone. Charter flight catering at Genova covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift, counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out; charter flight catering in Italy runs to that same standard wherever the rotation lands next.
Wide-body charter →
04
Airline and ad hoc catering at GOA
A 2915-metre runway, short enough to sequence every wide-body movement individually rather than in a continuous wave, sets the pace at which ad hoc airline catering is planned here. Carriers running Genova as an outstation draw on that same slot for outstation catering, diversion catering, technical stop catering and AOG cover, with menu cycles that change week to week while the tray standard itself does not, across a multi-leg rotation and boarded by hi-loader at the galley door. Crew meals at Genova and crew meals at GOA travel on the same duty roster as the passenger cabins.

Private jet and FBO catering at Genova
On a field rated to a wide-body reference code, business aviation shares the same ramp discipline as the airline traffic it sits beside. Private jet catering at Genova reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, handled through our dedicated private-jet branch after the commercial rotations are cleared.

“For a team flight from Genova (GOA/LIMJ), we booked group charter catering with several dietary requests. The meals were clearly labeled, portions were suitable for the group, and the delivery stayed on time despite a moving departure. A good partner for sports charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Marie — Air Cargo Operations Manager
“We arranged troop flight catering at Genova (GOA/LIMJ) for a non-routine passenger movement. The team understood that reliability mattered more than complexity and stayed flexible until uplift. Strong support for a demanding operation. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Carlos — Aviation Services Coordinator
“We used the team at Genova (GOA/LIMJ) for cargo airline catering on a night operation. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. Good service for freighter crews and odd-hour schedules. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Genova, Italy
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Genova, Italy
What operations gets asked every week about Genova.
Ask operations directly →Does the Genova order deadline change for a last-minute schedule shift?
Every specification can move up to the loading window agreed for the rotation; lead time is set per booking, and last minute airline catering is worked against whatever slot the ramp still holds open.
Are halal, kosher and SPML meals produced for flights at Genova Airport?
The kitchen's protocol line produces halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes for every booked rotation, each set labelled per passenger before it leaves that line.
When is VIP flight catering handled under a different protocol at GOA?
As soon as a movement is flagged government, royal or VVIP, government flight catering procedures apply: security-cleared staff, a sealed uplift and a signed handover replace the standard rotation paperwork.
Which factors set the airline catering cost at LIMJ?
The loading route through our kitchen decides most of it: cabin count, menu specification and the loading window drive the quotation, and the desk comes back with a figure rather than a published price list.
