Aviation catering — Napoli, Italy
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Napoli (LIRN / NAP)
NAP (IATA) · LIRN (ICAO)
Napoli holds a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which means the sequencing of a hi-loader against a single active runway has to be planned rather than assumed. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off that constraint, boarding wide-body cabins to galley height by hi-loader for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet uplift, airside, on one ops desk.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at LIRN
Napoli's wide-body reference code sets the pace of a loading window, because the sequence has to clear one runway and one set of ramp movements before the cart reaches the aircraft. Ramp access is what we hold, not what we ask for at the gate, and the catering uplift is timed from the seal at the kitchen door onward from there. Nothing in that sequence is estimated: the apron traffic decides the order, and the cart moves inside it.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Napoli sit screening, an escort through the ramp, and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway apron, and we plan the catering uplift against the busiest version of that path rather than the easiest one. The chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley, with nothing opened in between. Galley catering only leaves the kitchen once the temperature log is set at both ends, and the loading sheet is signed at handover, not before.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley.
Pilot meals prepared for Napoli, Italy rotations

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Napoli airport
The flight kitchen at NAP runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to hold a wide-body cabin plan without splitting the load across shifts. HACCP governs every stage of that production, from intake to the sealed cart, which is what airport catering at LIRN answers to on every rotation. That single-site model is what airport catering in Italy looks like when the runway count is one: everything staged from one kitchen rather than several, so the galley leaving for flight kitchen at NAP is the same standard every time.
Government flight catering at Napoli is handled by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool: security clearance on file, on the access list, and trained to royal household service standards for the paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift. That team carries the household specification between movements rather than rebuilding it each time, which is what keeps catering at LIRN consistent across repeat state work. Security clearance is checked before the badge is issued, not after.
VIP flight catering menus for LIRN / NAP departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Napoli (NAP)
Menus at Napoli are written to the cabin and the mission first, and to the season second, drawing on the dairy, orchard fruit and seafood of the surrounding region without naming a single supplier or dish on the specification sheet. Inflight catering at NAP moves from a First and VVIP tray plated to a written brief through to a Business tray set built for multi-choice hot service, then down to a main-cabin meal box built for volume. Every set carries its own documentation: allergen, halal and kosher status recorded per passenger rather than per flight, and medical diets flagged before the cart is sealed. The specification changes with the mission, never with the day.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LIRN take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single tray. The same specification travels with the aircraft on a repeat rotation, filed against the standing order so nothing is rebuilt from scratch each time.

Business cabins
Business cabins at Napoli run multi-choice hot service in tray sets sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, oven-ready rather than plated stand-side. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals and pilot meals never travel in the same set as the passenger trays.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at NAP are documented per passenger: household and religious sets alongside medical diets, with halal and kosher production run on a separate line before sealing. Every IATA special meal code produced here carries that same inflight catering documentation, filed against the order rather than improvised at the galley door.

Compliance
HACCP standards for aviation catering at Napoli, Italy
Flight catering airside delivery at NAP
Napoli carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single runway, and a wide-body reference code that lets us plan a multi-class uplift without splitting it across two stands. That mix makes documentation the constant pressure here: a government movement needs a protocol file before it needs a tray, and a scheduled rotation needs the same stand turned twice in the working day.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader to galley height, staged from our kitchen and escorted onto the ramp rather than left at the foot of the stairs. Airport catering at LIRN is planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own badges so the convoy does not wait on someone else's clearance. That same routing covers aviation catering at NAP and in-flight catering in Italy without a second procedure.
On Napoli we commit to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to galley, and a signed handover at the door, so inflight catering at LIRN carries one named responsibility from seal to signature.

“For a team flight from Napoli (NAP/LIRN), we booked tour operator charter catering with several dietary requests. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. The crew was happy with the organization. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Arjun — Station Operations Supervisor
“We needed troop flight catering at Napoli (NAP/LIRN) for a time-sensitive operation. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. Strong support for a demanding operation. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Francesca — Client Services Manager
“For a cargo sector from Napoli (NAP/LIRN), we arranged cargo crew meals for the operating crew. The crew received the correct quantities and the handover was quick, which is exactly what we needed. We would use them again for another cargo sector. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Napoli (NAP)
Diversion catering and ramp questions at LIRN / NAP
What operations gets asked every week about Napoli.
Ask operations directly →Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at LIRN, and under what protocol?
Yes: VIP flight catering and government flight catering at LIRN run under one protocol file per movement, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift.
Which lead time applies for an order into Napoli, and how late can the specification change?
The sealed cart is loaded against a fixed cut-off; how far in advance you place the order sets how late the specification can still change, and last minute airline catering is worked on a case-by-case basis against that same cart schedule.
Do you publish what airline catering costs at Napoli Airport?
Yes, a quotation depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than a fixed rate; the airline catering cost is confirmed once those three are known.
What halal, kosher and special meal codes do you produce for NAP departures?
We produce halal and kosher sets on a separate line, along with the full range of IATA special meals under their SPML codes, each documented per passenger.
How do you handle private jet catering for the FBOs and the GA terminal at LIRN?
LIRN's business aviation traffic is delivered private jet catering to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, FBO catering carried on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
