Aviation catering — Riga, Latvia
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Riga (EVRA / RIX)
RIX (IATA) · EVRA (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code rating held at this field lets full-size aircraft take a hi-loader straight to the galley door, so uplift moves aboard rather than waiting at the foot of the aircraft. Our teams run inflight catering and in-flight catering to that access, boarding scheduled, charter, VIP and government departures from Riga on one wide-body-rated stand.

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Riga (RIX)
Wide-body movements at this reference-coded field are boarded through ramp access held on our own clearance, not handed across at the aircraft steps. Every catering uplift here is staged against the same sequence: sealed at the kitchen, moved under escort across the apron, cleared onto the hi-loader at the galley door. That sequence is what lets a single wide-body stand carry scheduled, charter and government movements without the uplift becoming the bottleneck on the turnaround.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Riga sit screening, an escorted convoy and apron traffic that a scheduled wave can compress without warning. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of that sequence rather than the average of it, so the chain of custody holds even when the ramp is busy. Every galley catering run is logged at both ends: temperature taken at sealing, temperature taken again at handover, and a signature closing the load before the hi-loader clears the stand. Nothing moves off that sealed run without the paperwork that proves where it has been.
One sealed run, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving Riga
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Riga, Latvia
Our production kitchen runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding the wide-body stand this field is rated for. Airport catering at Riga is planned against that single stand rather than a bank of gates, which keeps the sealed run short and the handover simple. The whole line runs to HACCP, so airport catering leaving this kitchen carries the same documented cold chain whether it boards a scheduled service or a government movement.
The team that handles government flight catering at Riga is the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, access lists are checked before a delegation arrives, and household service standards are trained rather than improvised. That continuity is what a protocol desk is actually buying when it books this kitchen for a sealed, chain-of-custody uplift.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at RIX
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at EVRA / RIX
Menus here are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled service and a government movement leaving the same stand can carry different specifications on the same day. Riga sits close to the Baltic coast and inland dairy country, and our planning draws on that in general terms — fish, dairy, orchard fruit — worked into a written specification rather than a fixed dish. Inflight catering at RIX moves from passenger meal boxes through to plated VVIP service on the same production line, sealed before it leaves the kitchen. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin, never assumed from the manifest alone.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Riga are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed cycle, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation boards the same presentation every time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at RIX run multi-choice hot service in galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft's own fit. Crew meals at Riga and cabin crew meals are boxed separately from the passenger load, and pilot meals travel under their own seal on the same sealed run.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger rather than left to a general note on the manifest. Halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line at this inflight catering kitchen and sealed before they leave it.

Flight catering airside delivery at Riga airport
Riga carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body-rated stand, which turns catering into a documentation problem as much as a capacity one: a delegation needs its protocol file matched to the manifest, a peak wave needs every tray counted against the loading sheet before the hi-loader moves. Airline catering at Riga is planned stand by stand rather than gate by gate, because this field works one reference-coded stand rather than a bank of them.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to that stand under escort, staged for hi-loader boarding at the galley door rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering in Riga and aviation catering at EVRA run off the same duty roster, so a diversion or a technical stop is worked to the same sealed sequence as a scheduled departure, not a separate process assembled on the day.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, and in-flight catering in Latvia closes on a signed handover every time.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Riga, Latvia
01
Government and state flight catering at Riga
A head of state aircraft boards from the same wide-body-rated stand this field holds for every other movement, which is what lets government flight catering run here without a dedicated apron built for it. Delegations and official movements travel on a protocol file documented per passenger, handled by security-cleared staff, with the uplift sealed at our kitchen before it leaves for catering at EVRA.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at EVRA
At a field rated to a 3200 m longest runway, private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — take the same hi-loader access as a scheduled service. Royal flight catering here holds household standards across repeat rotations, from a written specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request for catering at RIX.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at RIX
A single wide-body stand has to sequence every movement in turn, which is the constraint charter flight catering in Latvia is planned against: ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions each get a full three-cabin uplift staged in the order the galleys are laid out. Charter flight catering at RIX is counted against the loading sheet before the hi-loader clears the stand, whatever the season or the mission type behind the booking.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Riga
The wide-body reference code held at this field lets a scheduled carrier run Riga as an outstation without reworking its loading plan for a smaller stand. Ad hoc airline catering covers uplifts booked outside the standing schedule, outstation catering runs the rotation for carriers based elsewhere, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked to the same duty roster as any planned departure, and crew meals at RIX board on the same sealed run as the cabin load, with crew meals at EVRA boxed separately for the flight deck.

Private jet and FBO catering at EVRA
The field is rated to a 3200 m longest runway, which keeps business aviation working the same ramp as the wide-body traffic rather than a separate apron. Private jet catering at EVRA is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal by our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, whether the booking calls for FBO catering, business aviation catering or business jet catering.

Scheduled airline
“A short-notice movement brought us into Riga (RIX/EVRA), so we needed reliable contingency catering. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. Good support when timing is the main pressure point. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Liam — Duty Operations Manager
“For an operation away from our normal base, we arranged catering for airlines without flight kitchen at Riga (RIX/EVRA). The crew received exactly what was ordered, with clear labels and no last-minute chasing from operations. We would be comfortable using the service there again. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Giulia — Station Performance Manager
“The operations team needed an airline catering cost per meal for Riga (RIX/EVRA) with very little time to decide. Pricing, delivery timing, and packaging were all explained upfront, which helped us approve the uplift quickly. Good option when you need a fast and transparent answer. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Business jet catering questions at RIX
Outstation catering and access questions at RIX
What operations gets asked every week about Riga.
Ask operations directly →Given the ramp access this field holds, do you deliver airline catering airside at RIX, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
There is a hi-loader route from our kitchen straight to the galley door at this stand, so airside delivery boards the aircraft rather than stopping at the foot of the steps.
Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at EVRA, and under what protocol?
A single wide-body-rated stand carries all of it: VIP flight catering and government flight catering here run on a protocol file documented per passenger, with security-cleared staff on the access list.
How do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Riga?
Riga's business aviation traffic is worked from the same ramp as the wide-body stand, so private jet catering and FBO catering move to the GA terminal on the same sealed cold chain as an airline uplift.
Which lead time do you need for an order at Riga Airport, and how late can the specification still change?
The loader and the sealed cart set the limit, not a fixed clock: once the cart is sealed at our kitchen the specification is locked, so changes have to land before that seal, not after it.
What halal, kosher and special meal codes do you produce at RIX, and how are they documented?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA SPML codes on a separate line at the kitchen, documented per passenger before the load is sealed.
