Aviation catering — Lamezia Terme, Italy
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering — Lamezia Terme (LICA / SUF)
SUF (IATA) · LICA (ICAO)
A single wide-body reference code at Lamezia Terme means the ramp is built for three-cabin uplift, not for pallets left kerbside. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, aviation catering and in-flight catering off one ops desk here, boarding by hi-loader to galley height, straight from our kitchen to the wide-body stand.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at Lamezia Terme
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Lamezia Terme, Italy
Catering at SUF moves through a fixed sequence rather than a guess: sealed at the kitchen, escorted across the ramp, and checked again at the galley door. Ramp access on our own badges keeps that sequence out of the general apron queue, so a delegation aircraft and a scheduled rotation clear the same gate without either one waiting on the other. The measure is the seal, not the clock.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Lamezia Terme sit screening, an escorted convoy and ordinary apron traffic, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst case among them rather than the average one. The galley catering that leaves our door is logged at sealing and logged again at handover, so the chain of custody has two timestamps and one name attached to it throughout. A coordinator signs the load at both ends, and that signature, not a verbal confirmation, is what closes the rotation.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the aircraft door.
Crew meals from the flight kitchen serving Lamezia Terme
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at LICA / SUF
Airport catering at Lamezia Terme runs from a single facility holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to the HACCP standard that governs every tray leaving it. Airport catering at LICA depends on that separation of lines as much as on the distance to the ramp, because a household order and a scheduled tray run cannot share a bench. The flight kitchen at SUF is built so cold chain integrity holds from sealing to hi-loader without a second handling point.
The team behind government flight catering at Lamezia Terme is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for one movement. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to the household service standard that a protocol file requires rather than to a general catering brief. That standing team, not a temporary hire, is what a chain of custody actually depends on between the kitchen door and the aircraft.
Halal airline meals and special meals at LICA
VVIP catering to a written specification at Lamezia Terme
AERO GOURMET writes its menus to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed list, and inflight catering at LICA draws on southern Italian produce in general terms where the specification calls for it: dairy, citrus, olive oil and orchard fruit worked into a plated or tray-set format as the rotation requires. A VIP flight menu and a charter flight menu are built from the same larder but staged differently, one plated to a written order, the other boxed to a loading sheet. Seasonal changes move through the specification on a fixed cycle rather than at random, so a repeat rotation sees a menu that has moved forward, not one reissued unchanged. Every set closes on a documented allergen, halal, kosher or medical requirement, labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Lamezia Terme are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to one set. VIP flight catering here is staged so the presentation matches the standing order exactly, movement after movement, without redrafting it each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at SUF take multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals at LICA travel in the same tray sets, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately against the roster rather than bundled with the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Lamezia Terme are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes, produced on a separate line before sealing. Inflight catering built to a religious or medical requirement here never shares a bench with the standard tray run, so the record and the food match at handover.

Catering uplift planned stand by stand at Lamezia Terme (SUF)
Lamezia Terme takes scheduled, charter, government and VVIP traffic across a single wide-body reference code, which means a delegation movement is worked as a documentation problem on the same ramp that handles a charter's capacity problem the same afternoon. Airline catering here runs off one ops desk regardless of which of those movements it is serving, and a repeat rotation is treated as a repetition problem: the same specification, checked again rather than redrafted.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our kitchen to the stand, with airport catering at SUF planned stand by stand rather than by a generic schedule, and ramp access held on our own badges throughout the convoy. Aviation catering at LICA and in-flight catering in Lamezia Terme share that same route, so a scheduled tray run and a sealed VIP load cross the same gate without either one displacing the other.
One coordinator carries the sealed cart from kitchen to signature, and that handover, not a verbal confirmation, closes every rotation at this station.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at LICA / SUF
01
Government and state flight catering at SUF
A longest runway of 3017 metres at Lamezia Terme takes the aircraft that carry state visits and head of state movements, and government flight catering here is built around that traffic rather than around a general charter brief. Protocol is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared personnel, and the uplift is sealed before it leaves our kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Lamezia Terme
Private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — are what the 3017 metre runway at Lamezia Terme is built to take, and royal flight catering here is staged to that aircraft class rather than to a business jet brief. Household standards are held across repeat rotations from a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LICA
Across the wide-body stand that the 3017 metre runway at Lamezia Terme serves, a full three-cabin uplift is staged for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions alike. Charter flight catering here is counted against the loading sheet before departure, and charter flight catering for a multi-leg rotation is staged in the order the galleys are laid out, tray set by tray set.

Airline and ad hoc catering at SUF
Our kitchen works to the single wide-body reference code held at Lamezia Terme, which sets one loading sequence for every carrier running this station as an outstation. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off that same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation without a second specification to draw on.

Private jet and FBO catering at Lamezia Terme
A single wide-body reference code sets the sequence our loading crews work to at Lamezia Terme, and business aviation traffic here is fitted around that sequence rather than run separately from it. Private jet catering at LICA reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, with FBO catering and business aviation catering carried on the same cold chain and paperwork as a business jet catering order for the main ramp.

Business jet catering questions at LICA
Diversion catering and ramp questions at LICA
What operations gets asked every week about Lamezia Terme.
Ask operations directly →Where are halal, kosher and SPML meals documented at LICA?
Each special meal set is logged against the IATA SPML code on the passenger record and produced on a separate line before sealing. Halal, kosher and religious or medical sets travel with that documentation attached from kitchen to galley door.
What does airline catering cost at Lamezia Terme?
We quote against the cabin count, the specification and the loading window rather than publishing a fixed price list. The desk returns a quotation once those three points are confirmed for the rotation.
When can private jet catering reach the FBOs at Lamezia Terme Airport?
Once an order is confirmed, our private jet catering branch delivers to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift. FBO catering here follows the same paperwork as a wide-body load, not a separate process.
Is there a fixed lead time for an order at SUF?
The coordinator on duty sets the lead time against the specification requested, and how far in advance an order is needed depends on cabin count and cabin complexity. Last minute airline catering is handled through the same desk when a diversion or a technical stop requires it.
