Aviation catering — Pantelleria, Italy
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Pantelleria (LICG / PNL)
PNL (IATA) · LICG (ICAO)
Two runways and a narrow-body reference code set the boarding plan at Pantelleria, where the ramp allows no long dwell for a sealed cart. In-flight catering here moves straight from our galley door to the aircraft door, with inflight catering staged by hi-loader rather than left waiting at the foot of the stand.

Inflight catering order window for LICG / PNL departures
Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Pantelleria (PNL)
Ramp access at Pantelleria is short and controlled, and the apron leaves no room for a cart to wait once it clears the gate. The loading window here is built around that limit: sealing at the kitchen, transfer across the apron, and boarding at the galley door counted as one movement rather than three separate stops. Every catering uplift at LICG is timed to close inside that single pass across the ramp.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Pantelleria sit screening, an escort across the apron, and the narrow window a two-runway field allows for ramp traffic. We plan every catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the average, so the seal is never opened before the galley door.
Temperature is logged twice on every galley catering run: once when the cart is sealed, once at handover, with the two readings held in the same chain of custody as the signature that closes the load. Nothing reaches the aircraft door without both records attached to it.
One seal, one log, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.
Airline food supplier for Pantelleria rotations
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Pantelleria, Italy
The narrow-body reference code held at Pantelleria sets a kitchen that runs to airport catering standards on a fixed rotation rather than a peak-hour surge. Airport catering here is produced under HACCP procedure across hot production, pastry and a cold larder, with a protocol line kept apart for sealed uplifts. That structure is what lets a two-runway field carry flight kitchen output for scheduled, charter and VIP movements from one site.
Government flight catering at LICG is handled by the same named team on every rotation, with security clearance on file and each member kept on the access list for sealed movements. They are trained to the household service standards a royal or diplomatic uplift requires, and to the paperwork that has to travel with it. No one outside that roster touches a sealed cart destined for the stand at Pantelleria.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at PNL
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LICG / PNL
Menus for Pantelleria are written to the cabin and the mission, drawing on the island's produce for orchard fruit, dairy and fresh fish where the season allows it, without naming a single dish or a single supplier. Inflight catering here runs on a written specification rather than a fixed carte, adjusted rotation to rotation for a scheduled sector, a charter group or a VIP movement. Every tray is built to the galley fitted to the aircraft, so a wide-body VIP configuration and a narrow-body charter never share a loading plan. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Pantelleria are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so the presentation is repeatable movement to movement rather than reinvented each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at PNL run on multi-choice hot service, built to 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, with tray sets held apart from the passenger load at LICG.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at LICG are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal, kosher and the full range of special meal codes under the SPML system. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed apart from the general load.

Flight catering airside delivery at Pantelleria airport
Pantelleria carries scheduled, charter and government movements across two runways rated to a narrow-body reference code, which sets a compact, repeat-pattern rotation rather than a peak-hour surge. That mix makes documentation the constant concern: a government or VIP movement needs its protocol file closed before wheels-up, and a repeat scheduled rotation needs the same tray specification held stand by stand rather than redrawn each time.
Airline catering, aviation catering and in-flight catering at Pantelleria run off a single ops desk that plans the uplift against the loading sheet for each stand, with airside delivery carried on our own ramp clearance rather than handed to an outside escort. Inflight catering moves by hi-loader to galley height wherever the aircraft door sits above ground level, and by direct load to the stand otherwise.
On every rotation we commit to one coordinator named against the loading sheet, a sealed cart logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the aircraft door.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Pantelleria
1,675 metres of runway carries the private airliners this segment brings through Pantelleria, from a BBJ to a wide-body VIP configuration, without needing a longer field to turn them round. Royal flight catering here holds a royal household specification on file between movements, with VVIP requirements and halal sets produced against that same standing record rather than rebuilt rotation by rotation.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at LICG
A narrow-body charter aircraft boards at Pantelleria against the same loading sheet as a scheduled sector, which is what lets group movements and special missions run without a stand plan. Charter flight catering at LICG covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, tour operator groups and repatriation missions, with charter flight catering at Pantelleria staged in galley order across a full three-cabin uplift.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Pantelleria
1,675 metres of runway sets a narrow-body ceiling on what Pantelleria boards, and it is within that limit that ad hoc airline catering, outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off the same duty roster. Carriers working PNL as an outstation get the same tray standard as a scheduled sector, with AOG covered across a multi-leg rotation and crew meals at Pantelleria boxed to the same roster, wherever crew meals in Italy are drawn from a shared cycle.

Private jet and FBO catering at Pantelleria
Across the narrow-body stands that share Pantelleria's two runways, business aviation traffic is worked to the same reference code as the scheduled fleet. Private jet catering at LICG reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

Business jet catering questions at PNL
Diversion catering and ramp questions at PNL
What operations gets asked every week about Pantelleria.
Ask operations directly →How much does airline catering cost at Pantelleria?
Pantelleria has no published price list; a quotation depends on cabin count, the specification chosen and the loading window booked. The desk returns a figure once those three are confirmed.
Which routes deliver private jet catering to the FBOs at PNL?
Our hi-loader and sealed cart route runs the same load to every FBO on the field and to the GA terminal. FBO catering here follows the identical cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, whichever ramp it is bound for.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at LICG?
The narrow-body reference code held at LICG sets the span the loading team works to on every stand. Airline catering is delivered by airside delivery and boarded by hi-loader to galley height wherever the aircraft door sits above ground level.
What protocol governs VIP and government flights catered at Pantelleria?
We run VIP flight catering and government flight catering under a documented protocol file, closed per passenger before the cart is sealed. Security-cleared staff handle the load from the kitchen to the aircraft door on every such movement.
