Aviation catering — Olbia, Italy
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Olbia (LIEO / OLB)
OLB (IATA) · LIEO (ICAO)
A wide-body aircraft holding to Olbia's aerodrome reference code can be boarded here on a 2745 m runway built for that class of movement. We run inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering from one kitchen, loading by hi-loader to galley height so the uplift never sits on a cart at the foot of the aircraft.


On the apron — Olbia

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Airport catering order window at Olbia
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Olbia, Italy
Ramp access at Olbia is not a courtesy, it is the schedule: the apron slot decides when a catering uplift can reach the aircraft at all. Our sealed carts move from the kitchen to the stand inside a fixed window, checked at the ramp gate and again at the galley door. The apron dictates the sequence, and the loading window is built around it rather than around a printed lead time.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Olbia sit screening, an escort onto the apron, and the ordinary traffic of a wide-body rotation. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the average, because the galley door does not wait. Each cart carries a seal fixed at the kitchen and checked again on the ramp, so chain of custody runs unbroken from production to the galley. Temperatures are logged at both ends and a signature closes the load before the door goes up, one named coordinator carrying the sheet from sealing to handover.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing changes hands in between.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving OLB

Airline food supplier crews cleared for LIEO / OLB
The flight kitchen at OLB runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard and held to the same cold chain from sealing to stand. Airport catering at Olbia is worked from that single facility rather than split across suppliers, which keeps the specification consistent from a scheduled rotation to a diplomatic movement. Airport catering at OLB means one kitchen answering to one ops desk, not a chain of subcontracts between the flight kitchen at OLB and the aircraft.
The team that handles government flight catering at Olbia is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a sealed uplift is ever loaded onto the truck. Household service standards and the paperwork that travels with catering at LIEO are trained into that team specifically, movement after movement.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at LIEO
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Olbia
Menus at Olbia are written to the cabin and the mission rather than issued as one fixed list, adjusted for a scheduled rotation, a charter group or a single VVIP movement. Sardinia's dairy, seafood and orchard produce sit on the local sourcing side of that plan, worked into a rotating specification rather than a fixed dish. Inflight catering at OLB then closes on the documentation side: allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are recorded per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. Nothing reaches the galley door without that record attached to it.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Olbia carry VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. The presentation is checked against that standing order before the cart leaves the kitchen, not decided at the galley.

Business cabins
Business cabins at LIEO run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready tray sets sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger service.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Olbia are produced on a separate line from the main cabin service and sealed before it ever leaves that line. Halal, kosher and the full range of IATA special meal codes are documented per passenger, so inflight catering here matches whatever a household, a religious requirement or a medical note actually specifies.

HACCP standards for aviation catering at Olbia (OLB)
Aircraft catering delivered airside at Olbia (OLB)
Olbia carries a mixed traffic profile across a single wide-body stand, so a scheduled rotation, a charter group and an occasional government or VVIP movement are all worked off the same reference code rather than a dedicated apron. That mix turns catering into a documentation exercise as much as a production one: a delegation needs its protocol file checked before departure, a charter needs its full three-cabin count reconciled against the loading sheet.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by sealed cart, escorted onto the apron and boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering at Olbia, inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all run off that same route and the same ops desk, so a diversion or a late change is handled without a second handover. Airport catering here stays planned stand by stand, ramp access held on our own badges rather than borrowed for the day.
We commit one named coordinator to every rotation, sealed carts checked at both ends, and a signed handover closing each load.

“For a last-minute requirement at Olbia (OLB/LIEO), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. It made the station much easier to manage. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Ahmed — Private Aviation Manager
“We used the service for private jet catering in Olbia on a VIP rotation through OLB/LIEO. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. I would use them again for another flight from Olbia. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Achraf — Government Charter Coordinator
“For our flight from Olbia (OLB/LIEO), the cabin order included multiple SPML. The order arrived complete and the special requests were handled with the same presentation as the regular meals. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Pilot meals and loading questions at LIEO
What operations gets asked every week about Olbia.
Ask operations directly →When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at LIEO?
When the apron slot opens, the sealed cart moves from our kitchen straight to the stand and boards by hi-loader to galley height, with airside delivery timed to that window rather than to the road.
Are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered at Olbia under protocol?
The coordinator assigned to that rotation runs the file: VIP flight catering and government flight catering are both documented per passenger, cleared staff only, protocol checked before the cart leaves the kitchen.
Who produces halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at Olbia Airport?
For every cabin on the manifest, halal, kosher and the full range of SPML codes are prepared on a separate line and labelled per passenger before sealing, special meals included.
At what point does an order have to be placed for catering at OLB?
The cabin count and specification are confirmed first, then the loading window is set against it; changes can still move close to departure, but the earlier the desk has the order, the more of the specification stays open.
Do you deliver private jet and FBO catering at Olbia?
Yes — our private-jet branch delivers to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal alike, FBO catering run on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.
