Aviation catering — Reggio Calabria, Italy
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Reggio Calabria (LICR / REG)
REG (IATA) · LICR (ICAO)
A 1996 m runway and a narrow-body reference code shape every rotation through Reggio Calabria, and the aircraft working that runway still board from a hi-loader raised to galley height rather than a trolley left at the foot of the steps. Inflight catering here is planned around that single wide-body-capable stand, with in-flight catering uplifted, sealed and handed over on the ramp, not at a kerb.

Inflight catering order window at LICR
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Reggio Calabria
Ramp access at Reggio Calabria is what decides the loading window, since a narrow-body reference code and a single wide-body-capable stand leave no room for a second attempt. Every catering uplift here is sequenced against that one stand rather than against a bank of gates, with the apron crossing timed as part of the load, not treated as dead time before it. The window closes when the galley door does, and the apron sequencing is built backwards from that moment.
Between our kitchen and the stand at LICR sit screening, an escort across the apron and the ordinary traffic of a field working one wide-body-capable position, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it. Chain of custody starts at the seal and does not break until the crew at the aircraft signs for the load, with nobody outside that route touching a cart in between. Galley catering here is logged twice: temperature taken when the load is sealed at the kitchen, and again at handover, so the record covers the whole apron crossing and not just the kitchen end of it.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the aircraft, nothing unaccounted for between them.
Pilot meals and crew meals prepared for Reggio Calabria airport
Airline food supplier crews cleared for REG
Airport catering at Reggio Calabria runs from a kitchen built to feed a single wide-body-capable stand rather than a bank of gates, so hot production, pastry and a cold larder sit under one roof close to the apron. HACCP governs the line from intake to sealed cart, with the cold chain held from the larder to the galley door. Airport catering at LICR depends on that discipline holding across a narrow-body reference field, where a delay on the ramp cannot be absorbed by a second stand.
The team behind government flight catering at Reggio Calabria is the same named crew on every rotation through REG, not a rotating roster assembled per movement. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on the access list for the ramp, and they are trained to the paperwork a sealed uplift carries at handover. That continuity is what a protocol desk checks first, and it does not change between one movement and the next.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Reggio Calabria (REG)
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at LICR
Menus at Reggio Calabria are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed offer, moving from a plated First specification through multi-choice Business service to boxed main-cabin trays. Inflight catering at REG draws on regional produce where the season allows it — dairy, orchard fruit, fish from the coast — set within a specification rather than a fixed dish list. Every set is built to a season and a route length, not to a single year-round card. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before the cart is sealed, and produced on the line that matches the code on the manifest.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Reggio Calabria are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed set menu, with à-la-carte and course-timed service available on request for a standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed against that order so a repeat rotation is served the same way each time it lands.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LICR take multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's own galley, boxed in tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck set never mixes with the cabin service.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at REG are documented per passenger rather than assumed from a standard set, covering halal and kosher meals and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering produced against those codes runs on a separate line and is sealed before it leaves that line, keeping it apart from the standard cabin trays.

Flight catering airside delivery at LICR / REG
Reggio Calabria works a narrow-body reference field with a single wide-body-capable stand, so a scheduled service, a charter and a government movement are never worked in parallel — each is a separate load against the same position, and a delegation on that stand is a documentation problem before it is anything else.
The route from our kitchen to that stand is short and fixed, with the load carried by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft, and our own crew holds the escort across the apron end to end. Airline catering at LICR is planned stand by stand rather than gate by gate, because there is no second position to fall back on.
In-flight catering in Reggio Calabria, aviation catering in Reggio Calabria and airport catering in Italy all run off the one desk that plans that single stand, with one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover closing every rotation.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at REG
01
Government and state flight catering at LICR
A narrow-body reference code means a head of state aircraft and any accompanying movement are sequenced onto the same single stand rather than parked apart from other traffic, so timing is worked out in advance rather than improvised on the day. Government flight catering at LICR keeps the protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff sealing the uplift before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at REG
One wide-body-capable stand at Reggio Calabria, so a private airliner and any accompanying aircraft are sequenced through it rather than parked side by side. Royal flight catering at REG for BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP movements is held to a written household specification kept on file between visits, with halal and other household requirements produced against it on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at Reggio Calabria
We work a narrow-body reference field for every charter that routes through it, staging a full three-cabin uplift against the loading sheet for the single wide-body-capable stand rather than across several gates at once. Charter flight catering in Reggio Calabria covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at Reggio Calabria staged in the order each galley is laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at LICR
At a field with one wide-body-capable stand and a 1996 m runway, a diverted or delayed aircraft cannot simply be shifted to a second position while its catering is sorted out. Ad hoc airline catering at REG covers that outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering, with crew meals in Italy boxed to the roster and diversion catering at REG worked against the same stand as any scheduled rotation.

Private jet and FBO catering at REG
A 1996 m runway at Reggio Calabria carries business aviation traffic alongside the scheduled and charter movements that share its single wide-body-capable stand. Private jet catering at REG reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal through our dedicated business aviation branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“For a last-minute requirement at Reggio Calabria (REG/LICR), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. The response time was good and we did not have to manage several local suppliers ourselves. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Federico — Station Performance Manager
“I arranged private jet catering in Reggio Calabria for our departure from REG/LICR. Everything arrived fresh, well presented, and easy for the cabin crew to organize before boarding. We had a smooth experience from order to delivery. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Carmen — Private Jet Operations Manager
“Our passenger profile required special meal codes at Reggio Calabria (REG/LICR), with several different dietary restrictions. All requirements were followed and the cabin crew could see immediately which meal belonged to which passenger. Very reassuring for the cabin crew. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Inflight catering FAQ for Reggio Calabria (REG)
Technical stop catering questions at Reggio Calabria (REG)
What operations gets asked every week about Reggio Calabria.
Ask operations directly →When are halal, kosher and other special meals produced at REG, and how are they documented?
When an order specifies a dietary or religious requirement, it is logged against the passenger and the cabin, and halal, kosher and other special meals are produced under their IATA SPML codes on a separate line before sealing.
What protocol applies to VIP, VVIP and government flights at LICR?
We run VIP flight catering and government flight catering at LICR under the same protocol file: security-cleared staff, a documented access list and a sealed uplift signed over at the stand.
Where does the lead time start for an order out of Reggio Calabria?
The loading sheet is the record that starts the clock, and once it is confirmed a specification can still be adjusted up to the loading window without resetting the whole order.
Which routes deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Reggio Calabria Airport?
The same hi-loader and sealed-cart route used for airline uplifts carries FBO catering to every operator on the field, delivered to the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork.
Can airline catering be delivered airside at REG, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
The single wide-body-capable stand at REG is where every uplift is staged, with airside delivery made by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than left at the foot of the steps.
How much does airline catering cost at LICR?
The airline catering cost at LICR depends on cabin count, the meal specification and the loading window requested, so the desk reviews the rotation and returns a quotation rather than working from a published price list.
